Raptors @ Celtics Preview

Rajon Rondo looks like himself, and the Celtics will be unstoppable if he is even with Kevin Garnett out. Rondo is averaging 12.3 points, 10.3 assists and 4.7 rebounds in his last seven games against the Raptors with Boston winning all of them, and with the way he has been playing this year I expect Rondo to have a stat line like 14 pts, 20 asts, and 6 rebs. It is funny to say something like that and be completely serious, but I am.

The Raptors are a terrible team. They are 3-7 in their last 10 games, and only 12-23 on the season. The Celtics own this team winning 14 of the last 16 meetings with Toronto, and I just don't see how that will change tonight. Ray Allen and Paul Pierce have gone off versus the Raptors. Allen is averaging 22.2 points on 52.2% shooting in his last 17 games against them, while Pierce has 21.8 points per game in 19 contests.

So basically expect a blowout tonight in Boston.

Celtics win 105-86
