These are the top two teams in the Eastern Conference, as they head into this game. Both teams are coming into the game fresh off a game on Tuesday. Heading into Tuesday, Toronto was 55-21 on the season.<\/p>\n<p>The Boston <strong>Celtics<\/strong> sit just two games back in the Eastern Conference with their 53-23 record. The Celtics are looking to grab the top seed in the conference after losing in the conference title round a season ago.\u00a0\u00a0<strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">The Toronto Raptors are -4 over the Boston Celtics on Wednesday in the National Basketball Association.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"raptors-looking-to-keep-top-seed-in-east\"><strong>Raptors Looking to Keep Top Seed in East<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Toronto Raptors are led by their guard play. DeMar <strong>DeRozan<\/strong> and Kyle <strong>Lowry<\/strong> have been fantastic once again. The knack on the Raptors guards have been their play in the postseason. Until then &#8211; they are going to approach 60 wins by the time the regular season comes to an end.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DeRozan<\/strong> is the top scorer for Toronto with nearly 24 points per game. The other guard, <strong>Lowry<\/strong> is also scoring, but is known for his ability to pass the ball. Lowry is dishing out 7 assists per game. This is the third straight season that the Raptors will finish the regular season with 50+ wins in the regular season.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"stevens-leading-celtics\"><strong>Stevens Leading Celtics<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Boston Celtics beat the <strong>Raptors<\/strong> earlier this week, and would love to compete the sweep of the week. The Celtics have won six straight games since a road loss in New Orleans. In those six games, Boston has allowed 100+ points just once. The Celtics are the third best defense, allowing 100.1 per game.<\/p>\n<p>The top scorer for the <strong>Celtics<\/strong> is Kyrie Irving with 24.4 points per game, but we will likely not see him again until the postseason. The <strong>Celtics<\/strong> have also enjoyed a very good season from Jaylen Brown. The second year guard is scoring 14 points per game, just ahead of rookie Jayson Tatum with 13.9.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"toronto-tops-boston\"><strong>Toronto Tops Boston<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This should be a competitive basketball game. Could be the Eastern Conference Finals Preview. The <strong>Raptors<\/strong> can really score, and Boston is a really good defensive team. The <strong>Celtics<\/strong> are not as good on the road as they have been at home, and going against a solid home team in Toronto.<\/p>\n<p>Look for the <strong>Raptors<\/strong> to run the basketball up and down the floor a little quicker than the pace that the Celtics want to go. When push comes to shove, the Raptors are going to win this game at home. \u00a0<strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">Bet on the Toronto Raptors -4 over the Boston Celtics in the National Basketball Association on Wednesday.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">Bet on the NBA at MyBookie<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Toronto Raptors are hosting the Boston Celtics on Wednesday in the National Basketball Association.","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2136,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3035],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2630","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.0 -
