Result:
WIN

Boston won a thriller the last meeting with Toronto in a game that went overtime and the Celtics prevailed 123-116 at home as Kyrie Irving exploded for 43 points and Jayson Tatum added 21 points and Boston shot 52.8 percent. The Celtics are playing their first home game following an 0-3 trip and they are 15-5 straight-up and 14-6 ATS at home this season while Toronto is 10-13 ATS on the road. The Raptors might still be recovering from Sunday's 140-138 double-overtime win at Washington when they failed to cover as a five-point favorite. Kawhi Leonard poured in 41 points and Pascal Slakam finished with 24 points and 19 rebounds. The difference, though, was that the Wizards shot 18 more free throws and and made 29 compared to 11 for the Wizards. That discrepancy won't happen tonight in Boston where the Raptors are 5-13-1 ATS the last 19 meetings and they are 0-8 ATS their last eight games after scoring at least 125 points their previous game. Play the Celtics.
