Toronto Raptors
Tuesday the Raptors bench showed up as they swept the season series versus the Hornets. Will Barton was back on the court after a brief ankle injury and was lights out hitting six 3-pointers.
The reserves carried the perimeter scoring connecting on 11 of the 15 made triples as Chris Boucher hit three and Precious Achiuwa added two. However, the win didn’t change the standings as the Hawks defeated the Bulls despite not having Trae Young on the court.

- Otto Porter Jr., SF (OUT for season, — foot)

Free Toronto Raptors vs. Boston Celtics NBA Prediction:
Although the Celtics aren’t technically out of the running to win the top seed, the Bucks are likely to clinch needing just one win. Additionally, the 76ers win doesn’t alter the two/three seeds because Boston won the series 3-1 so Philly can tie them but would lose the tiebreak.
That factor could impact these next two games especially since Joe Mazzulla knows how physical the Raptors are and might not want to risk exposing his core to the possibility of getting injured with just three games left to play.
Boston is 10-3 in second games of back-to-back sets (although they’re 2-3 in the last 5) while the Raptors are 4-7 in second games.
