Toronto vs Boston Prediction: Choosing the True Favorite

Boston has won eight consecutive games and will play their next one on the road against Toronto. Will the Celtics extend their winning streak? 

Toronto

The Raptors had a road trip ahead of their game against Boston, defeating New York 123-121 (110-110) in overtime. After that, they lost to Milwaukee (122-130) and Minnesota (126-128). Nick Nurse's team still needs help finding their rhythm or consistency, and they are currently not even in the playoff zone. With 20-26, Toronto ranks only 11th in the Eastern Conference standings.

Boston

The Celtics faced Golden State Warriors in their last home game, whom they lost to in the final series last season. The match was very difficult for Boston. Joe Mazzulla's team was trailing by 9 points in the fourth quarter but came back and took it to overtime, where they won. 121-111 (106-106) - Jason Tatum had 34 points, 19 rebounds, and six assists. Al Horford scored 20 points and made ten rebounds. Boston claimed its eighth straight win and continues to lead the Eastern Conference (34-12).

Expert Betting Tips

Boston tops the Eastern Conference and the entire league at the moment. The Celtics are playing great on both ends of the floor and have now won eight games. That makes it all the more surprising that Joe Mazzulla's team isn't a favorite for this upcoming game. Especially today's Toronto only resembles a little of themselves, even from last season. Let alone the team from 2020, which Boston barely defeated in seven games in the first round of the playoffs. We're betting on the Celtics to win productively. After all, the Celtics' offenses are among the best, and Toronto recently has had a troubled defense.
