Boston Celtics vs Toronto Raptors Prediction

The injuries look like they’re starting to catch up to the Toronto Raptors, as they’ve lost 6 straight Games and have failed to top 100 points in 3 straight Games. Playing on the end of a back to back won’t help matters. With all that said, this line is something you usually don’t see in the NBA. Also, the Celtics are 4-6 ATS in their last 10 Games as a double-digit favorite. The Celtics also have 5 outright losses as a double-digit favorite since March. The line is what it is for good reason, but it’s still Toronto and the points or pass for me.
