Under 226.0(-110)BOS Celtics @ TOR Raptors

Reasoning

The Boston Celtics will be visiting the Toronto Raptors tonight while looking to close out the season series against their divisional rivals. Their last visit to Toronto ended up in defeat, with the home team coming away with a 110-97 win. The Celtics will be confident they can avenge this thanks to their recent high level of defensive play. Over the last 5 games no team has scored more than 105 points in a game against them. That includes 2 meetings against the New York Knicks, who are fifth in points per game this season. The Raptors have had issues scoring the ball of late, too, ranking just 26th in offensive rating over the last 10 games. Points could be hard to come by for them tonight.

Over the last 10 games neither of these teams have been pushing the ball down the court much. They have ranked 24th and 28th in pace, respectively. That should help ensure that we see tonight’s game turn into a defensive battle in the half court. The Celtics remain a high volume 3-point shooting team, but the Raptors should be well positioned to counter that. Over the last 10 games they are seventh in opponents’ 3-point percentage, allowing teams to make just 33% of their attempts. It has helped them rank fifth in opponents’ 3-point makes per game. By taking away one of the Celtics key weapons, they should be able to do their part and help keep the combined total for this game under 226 points.

Show Bio

Like most Lithuanians, I started watching basketball from the age of six. I'm based out in London and played basketball at the University of Lincoln here in the UK. I had always had an interest in the NBA but things really took off in the summer of 2010. That year Linas Kleiza led Lithuania to 3rd place at the World Championships and signed with the Toronto Raptors to replace the departing Chris Bosh. I've been a Raptors fan since that day and I've not missed a game since. I've been handicapping games for more than a decade, specializing in player props.
