The Celtics are in Toronto for a 7:00 PM ET tip at Scotiabank Arena, one night after beating Philadelphia 123-101 behind 36 points from Paul George. Boston is 9-2 with four straight wins and allows 104.0 points a game, second-fewest in the league. Toronto is 5-5 and missing its leading scorer. The latest injury report has Scottie Barnes (left groin strain), Kawhi Leonard (left knee) and Nate Bittle out. Immanuel Quickley is questionable with a right hamstring injury after missing two games, and Collin Murray-Boyles and Trayce Jackson-Davis are questionable with illness. Barnes was averaging 23.5 points. Leonard has played twice all season.
So one of the league's best defenses gets a lineup short on scorers. Without Barnes and Quickley, the Raptors won at Milwaukee, which is 1-10, then lost 118-102 at home to Memphis. Boston should win this by a comfortable margin, and the Raptors who've been handed the extra shots haven't been making them.
Celtics vs. Raptors Predictions
Pick #1Celtics -7.5−109
Boston is outscoring opponents by 11.7 points a game, 115.7 to 104.0. The four-game winning streak includes a 39-point win at Charlotte, a 20-point win at Milwaukee and last night's 22-point win in Philadelphia. Toronto's margin is plus-3.3, and Barnes played in eight of the 10 games behind it. He and Leonard are out tonight, and Quickley may be too.
The back-to-back worries us less than it usually would. Boston pulled away in the fourth quarter in Philadelphia, and no Celtic played more than 32 minutes. George logged 30, Jayson Tatum 32.
At -109, Boston has to cover 52.2% of the time. The Celtics have won by eight or more in six of their 11 games, and 65% of the spread money is on them from 53% of the bets.
All of it assumes Tatum and George play. Boston has rested each of them once this season. George sat the second night of the previous back-to-back, and the Celtics lost 109-93 at Houston. Tatum sat two nights later, and they beat Milwaukee 109-102 at home. Neither result would have covered this number. If one of them sits tonight, 7.5 is too many points.
Pick #2Ja'Kobe Walter Under 12.5 Points−112
Walter is getting more shots with Barnes and Quickley out, and they aren't going in. He took 12 and 13 shots in the two games without them, up from 8.5 a game before that, and made 6 of 25, including 3 of 14 from three. That got him 7 points at Milwaukee and 12 against Memphis, in 29 and 34 minutes.
The cold stretch is longer than two games. Walter has started Toronto's last five and scored 11, 10, 8, 7 and 12. He has stayed under 12.5 in eight of his 10 games this season, including the last six, and he averages 11.0 points on 38.7% shooting. This month he's at 29.4% from the field and 21.9% from three. Now he gets a Boston defense that held its last four opponents to 102, 80, 97 and 101 points.
At -112 the bar is 52.8%. Threes could undo it. Walter takes 6.4 a game, and when five went in at Minnesota he scored 22. More shots alone haven't done it, though. He's had the extra ones for two games, and his best with them is 12.
