Boston at Toronto

The Boston Celtics won a championship with the Big 3, but the return to glory is taking a bad turn right now. All three of those players are gone, and additionally, their top remaining player in Rajon Rondo is out for a month or so. This is going to be a challenging season for newly hired Brad Stevens, as he takes the reigns in Boston with an empty cupboard. Toronto was a lot better than their final record a year ago. They started at 4-19, but played over .500 in their last 59 games, and have made some enhancements to improve the club for this season. Boston does not have a lot of talent, and with a new system and a lot of role players they will struggle early and often. Play on Toronto.
