Through 3 Quarters

A victory for the Boston Celtics would push them over .500, and after three quarters they have put themselves in a good position to make this happen. Neither squad has the game in the bag, but the Celtics lead 82-76 over the Toronto Raptors. Boston has been led by power forward Al Horford, who so far has posted a double-double on 17 points and 11 boards.

Horford has led the way so far for Boston, as he has dropped a double-double on 17 points and 11 rebounds. Horford's performance is making up for a slower matchup against the San Antonio Spurs this past Friday.

Both Boston and Toronto suffered losses in their previous contests, but Boston is closer to making up for it. The Celtics are out front, but they can't get complacent.

What to Know

The Boston Celtics and the Toronto Raptors are set to square off in an Atlantic Division matchup at 6 p.m. ET Nov. 28 at Scotiabank Arena. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.

The Celtics came up short against the San Antonio Spurs this past Friday, falling 96-88. One thing holding Boston back was the mediocre play of point guard Dennis Schroder, who did not have his best game: he played for 37 minutes but put up just eight points on 3-for-14 shooting.

Meanwhile, Toronto received a tough blow this past Friday as they fell 114-97 to the Indiana Pacers. A silver lining for Toronto was the play of power forward Scottie Barnes, who had 17 points in addition to seven boards.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Boston is expected to win a tight contest Sunday. Now might not be the best time to take Boston against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past two consecutive games.

The Celtics had enough points to win and then some against the Raptors in the teams' previous meeting earlier this month, taking their game 104-88. The rematch might be a little tougher for Boston since the team won't have home-court advantage. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
