A look at the NBA Eastern Conference semifinal between the Raptors and Boston Celtics, tentatively scheduled to start Thursday night:
SEASON SERIES
Boston won, 3-1
THE ROSTERS
Guards
Kyle Lowry of the Raptors is day-to-day with a sprained ankle, but Fred VanVleet and Norm Powell against Kemba Walker and Marcus Smart could be outstanding. The Raptors have more offence, but Smart’s one of the best defenders in the league.
Wings
OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam vs. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum could be where the series is decided.
