Expert picks & predictions for Tuesday’s Celtics vs. Raptors game

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans toward Boston to cover the spread in Toronto:

"The Celtics are rolling after the break with wins of 20 and 13 points against the 76ers and Knicks and double-digit wins in all five games during this winning streak. While the Raptors aren't the most exciting opponent to play, Boston is trying to avenge its loss to Toronto in their previous meeting. The matchup before that was the Celtics' 54-point win over Toronto and while I don't expect a blowout to that nature, I could see another 15-20 point win for Boston tonight."
