The Boston Celtics are the second team to visit the Toronto Raptors during this 7-game home stand. One of the NBA’s most iconic franchises has been hovering around .500 all season, but has lost five of its last eight games.
The men in green have been pests for a while, but no member of their lineup looks ready to win any awards in the near future. The team of Bird, McHale, Cousy, Rusell and Havlicek has no stars; instead relying on depth and good coaching to remain in the playoff hunt.
Like the Raptors, Boston relies on its backcourt to generate points.
