The Celtics clearly have been better over the course of five games. Heck, this series probably should be over. But the defending champs are not going to go down meekly. They should, at a minimum, keep this close. Look for Pascal Siakam to bounce back from a terrible performance as the Raptors cover.
The Raptors suffered an embarrassing Game 5 loss to the Celtics, 111-89. It’s clear the Celtics have several mismatches on the floor. Wednesday will mark the 10th matchup of the season against each other. Expect a do-or-die scenario and the knowledge of Boston's strengths to bode well for the Raptors. Grab the points.
Let’s be honest, this series should be over. Boston is more talented, has more guys that can get tough buckets, and I think they actually are toying with the Raptors. Lay the points if you dare, but I’m confident the Celtics win.
The Celtics took back control of this series with a lopsided win in Game 5. They are 7-2 ATS versus the Raptors this season and will look to eliminate them Wednesday and avoid a Game 7. The big news for the Raptors is the status of Serge Ibaka (ankle), who is listed as questionable. If he can’t play, it would be a huge loss for their second unit. Even if he does take the floor, he could be limited.
