That doesn&#8217;t inspire much confidence, and nor should it. But this is a big number and it&#8217;s one Toronto typically covers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Raptors are 19-12-1 ATS this season (fifth-best in the NBA).<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Toronto has covered a +22.5 spread in 28 of 32 games this season (87.5%).<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>That includes a 126-123 overtime loss to the Celtics on Nov. 16 when they closed as 16.5-point underdogs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Boston will likely win this game but I&#8217;m confident Toronto can keep it within this massive margin. The Celtics were untouchable on home court last season but have looked more human this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joe Mazzula&#8217;s group is 12-6 at TD Garden but just 6-12 ATS. Boston has also lost four of its last six games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>Brown over 34.5 PRA<\/strong><\/strong> (-113):<\/strong> Brown is running hot and tends to torch the Raptors. He should be in line for another big game tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boston&#8217;s swingman has cleared this mark in six of his last seven games against the Raptors. He&#8217;s averaged 26.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists (39 PRA) in that span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brown has cleared this line on points <em>alone<\/em> in two of his last four games and finished with 31 points, six assists and four rebounds his last time out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s attempted 20-plus field goals in five straight games which gives us a solid floor to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>White over 2.5 threes<\/strong> (-240):<\/strong> White is arguably the fourth or fifth biggest name on the Celtics. Yet he&#8217;s still an Olympian averaging 16.9 PPG while shooting 38.5% from deep \u2014 that&#8217;s why they&#8217;re the champs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shooting guard is making 3.5 threes a night and has cleared this mark in four straight games and seven of his last eight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He shoots with volume and accuracy from beyond the arc and went 3-for-12 against the Raptors earlier this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Toronto gives up the ninth-most 3s per game to SGs, per Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 8:40 a.m. ET 12\/31\/2024.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Toronto Raptors wrap up 2024 with a matinee against the defending champion Boston Celtics.
