Boston takes road win streak into matchup with Toronto
Boston will try to extend its three-game road win streak as Toronto plays without several key regulars, including Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley.
- The Boston Celtics travel to Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday to face the Toronto Raptors , aiming to extend their three-game road winning streak in the teams' first meeting this season.
- Boston comes off a 123-101 victory over Philadelphia on Tuesday, with Paul George scoring 36 points. Toronto's injury report lists Kawhi Leonard and Scottie Barnes as out for Wednesday, while Immanuel Quickley remains questionable.
- With key players sidelined, Toronto guard Jamal Shead is embracing an expanded role. After delivering a double-double in Monday's 118-102 loss to Memphis, Shead said, "I think it helped my confidence these last two games."
- Toronto coach Darko Rajakovic praised Shead's performance, saying, "The last couple of games when he's got more extended minutes and a bigger role on the team, he's really shining in those moments." Boston's George feels similarly integrated into coach Joe Mazzulla's system.
- Beyond Leonard and Barnes, Toronto lists Nate Bittle, Collin Murray-Boyles, and Trayce Jackson-Davis as dealing with health issues. The team will provide status updates following final pre-game evaluations.
