Raptors Scouting Report
The Raptors are fresh off a win against an injury riddled Oklahoma City, who are without Kevin Durant and Russel Westbrook, and are now 3-1 in the season. The team is shooting just 39.5 percent from the field in victory but managed to score 100 or more points in all four games. They have also won 10 of their last 12 games when scoring 100 or more points.
"It was one of the ugliest wins I've had in Toronto, but we'll take it," backup point guard Greivis Vasquez said after Tuesday's win over Oklahoma City per NBA.com's Game Preview. "We have to build, we have to get better -- and we will."
DeMar DeRozan continues to carry Toronto's offense with 46 points and six rebounds in his last two games. Kyle Lowry had a poor outing against the Thunder managing just nine points on 0-4 shooting from downtown and will have to step up with Amir Johnson dealing with an ankle injury. Defensively, the team is allowing 101.3 points from opponents on 48.9 percent shooting from the field.
Timberwolves Scouting Report
The Celtics almost made a historic come back against the Dallas Mavericks Monday night. Trailing by as many as 31 points in the first half, the Celtics were able to climb back in the game to just a single point late in the fourth quarter. The team, however, fell short when Avery Bradley missed a potential tying free throw and Chandler Parsons won a jump ball against Jared Sullinger.
"We shot ourselves in the foot in the first half the last two games," Green said. "By the end we were out of gas. We can't allow teams to be the aggressor the first 12 minutes. That's what happens." Defensively, the Boston Celtics are allowing 109 points on 48.3 percent shooting.
Boston is the underdog in this match-up, getting 1.0 points here at home. The Total has been posted at Over/Under 205.0, per Pro Cappers.
