THE INSIDERS ROOM'S 10* *Celtics/Raptors* SIDE BLOWOUT!
(NBA) Boston vs. Toronto,
Point Spread: 3.50 | -110.00 Boston (Away)
Result: Win
This is a 10* SIDE BLOWOUT on the Boston Celtics.

The Raptors are trying to run down the No. 2 spot in the East, which would put them up against either Brooklyn or Orlando in the playoffs.

Boston is only 2-2 so far in this series, but this game means much more to it than it does to Toronto in my opinion, as it'll be looking for a win here so as to avoid a potential matchup with the 76ers in the playoffs.

In fact, for that to happen the C's have to win the rest of their remaining regular season contest and they desperately need the Raptors to start losing.

These two teams are similar and they're very familiar with each other. Both are well coached and each is filled with great offensive and defensive talent.

I could easily write a convincing argument for either team, but in a contest which I envision coming down to whichever side has its hands on the ball last, I'm grabbing the points!

Good luck, NP
