This is the first road game of the season for the Raptors and last season they were 22-19 on the road.
Toronto Raptors
The Raptors played great defense in their opening 106-99 win holding the Indiana Pacers to a FG% of only 37.2%.
Toronto is led by the G duo of Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan, who combined for 48 points in the win over Indiana. C Jonas Valanciunas went for 21 points in the Pacers win and he also had 14 boards.
While the Raptors played solid defense in the win over the Pacers they did give up 20 points off the fast break and they have to get back on defense and, especially cut down on the 20 turnovers they had in the game.

The starters are key for the Raptors, as in the Pacers win the bench only combined for 23 points.
Boston Celtics
While the starters got it done for the Raptors in their opening win of the season the bench came up big for the Celtics in their 112-95 win over the 76ers going for 67 points. The bench had to play well, as the starters only combined to shoot 13/33.
Isaiah Thomas came off the bench to score a team high 27 points in the win over the 76ers and like the Raptors the Celtics are led by their guards with Thomas and starters Avery Bradley and Marcus Smart, who struggled in the opener.
The Celtics are not a big team and they will have to team up to guard Jonas Valanciunas, who was a beast in the opener, especially on the glass. Boston cannot let him dominate the glass, especially the offensive glass.
