Tremont Waters started in his place, and the team was still able to get the job done without him. The Raptors are off to a slow start this year, and so is tonight’s opponent – the Miami Heat. Thankfully, Boston will have the heart of the team back on the floor for this Eastern Conference Finals rematch.
The Boston Celtics say Marcus Smart will play tonight. Jeff Teague is out.
