Boston Celtics vs Toronto Raptors Prediction

As Ive mentioned many times over the last couple of weeks, I’m not a fan of laying big numbers in meaningless preseason games. However, the Celtics have played high level ball at both ends of the floor and have won 7 straight preseason games overall. The Celtics already beat the Raptors this preseason. Things could change given the small sample size, but if it’s not broken, don’t fix it. Oddsmakers also must know something with this monster line. Give me the Celtics.
