The Celtics will be without Ray Allen who didn't even make the trip. The Raptors are without TJ Ford. That takes a lot of offense and a lot of assists out of the equation for this game, as well as about 70 minutes for subs added. The Raptors played very sticky defense against the Celts last game here that ended with 193 points being scored. It also went to OT where 37 of those points were scored, so the "main" game really featured 156. The Raptors really get after it on the defensive end at home as seven of their last eight games have gone under. Boston is the league's best defending in all categories including points, FG percentage, and 3-point percentage. Look for a defensively tough game that goes UNDER this total.
