LiontipsBoston vs Toronto. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Boston team is still in a shaky form. Celtics are not looking well on the offense, they rely on Jaylen Brown too much. But he is still not fully recovered after coronavirus, so he can't play at full strength.
Nonetheless, Udoka's men managed to win some games. They were able to do that due to a great defensive performance. They managed to beat Orlando (92:79) and Miami (95:78). But in the most recent match this strategy didn't help Celtics to beat Dallas (104:107).
Toronto got off to a decent start of the new regular season. But after a string of victories followed the string of defeats. Seems like it was inevitable for the Raptors. Nick Nurse's men were unfortunate in the match against Cleveland, which they lost by only one point (102:103). After that Canadians failed to put up a fight against Brooklyn (103:116).
We should note that Pascal Siakam returned to the line-up. Cameroonian player still needs to gain form, but he is looking great already. In the previous match he scored 15 points in just 25 minutes.

Tip and bets
Boston will have to do without Jaylen Brown in this match. He got another injury. Without him, Celtics won't have many chances to win this game. But Udoka's men are still slight favourites.
We can't agree with the bookmakers. In our opinion, Toronto have everything to fight off Boston. We offer to place a bet on the underdog.
Our prediction - Toronto to win (Including OT)
Boston will have problems with the offense once again. Brown's absence will surely affect Celtics' game. Taking that into account, we don't think that opponents will be able to beat the total of 212 points.
Our second bet is on total under 212,5 points
