First, they lost 126-123 in overtime and second, they were routed 125-71.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Toronto was missing RJ Barrett, Gradey Dick and Jamal Shead in the latter contest. They&#8217;re all slated to play tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Darko Rajakovic&#8217;s group has covered this number in six of its last seven games since that blowout loss in Boston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>White over 12.5 points<\/strong><\/strong> (-132):<\/strong> White has just nine points in his last two games while shooting a combined 2-of-14 from the field. That&#8217;s ugly. But he&#8217;s poised to bounce back tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boston&#8217;s point guard is averaging 16.4 PPG on the season and has cleared this mark in both contests against the Raptors, scoring 16 and 18 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s an active shooter from deep, and that&#8217;s an area Toronto struggles to defend (more on that later).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Raptors also allow the fourth-most points per game to opposing PGs, according to Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Porzingis over 1.5 threes<\/strong> (-220):<\/strong> Porzingis is on a nice run for the Celtics this month, averaging 19.2 PPG while playing north of 30 minutes a night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s also been solid from beyond the arc in January:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2.2 threes\/game<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>39.3 3PT%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1+ three in every game<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Raptors give up the fourth-most 3s per game (14.4) at the seventh-highest rate (37.0%). Porzingis is attempting 5.9 threes per game this season, which puts him in a good spot to cash this on volume alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 10:39 a.m. ET 01\/15\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Toronto Raptors host the reigning champion Boston Celtics on Wednesday night.
