1.87Tip and bets
Boston has already beaten Toronto twice this season, both times by a significant margin. Despite the recent loss to Denver, the Celtics look like a slightly more solid and deep team. Toronto arrives after an emotional victory in Charlotte, but the participation of Scotty Barnes and Brandon Ingram remains questionable, which could significantly affect the visitors' attack. Boston's staffing situation looks more stable. The hosts are expected to win, but the game is unlikely to be simple and one-sided.
Our prediction is that Boston will win with a handicap of (-6.5) points in 1.71
