Celtics vs. Raptors preview

The Raptors were dealing with a four-game losing streak at home, where one of the games came against the Celtics. Since then, the Raptors lost in the NBA Cup quarterfinals to the New York Knicks, who eventually went on to win the tournament.

The Raptors are able to get almost a week off after losing in the NBA Cup to regroup and figure out how to turn things around. They have done that with two consecutive wins on the road, beating the Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks.

Now the Raptors return home to Canada where they have to face off against the Celtics once again.

The goal for the Raptors should be to learn from their mistakes that they made when the Celtics were last in town. The Raptors only lost that game by eight points, so it's not like they have to reinvent the wheel when playing them this time around. However, they have to make some changes when it comes to the finer details.

If the Raptors can get some momentum from the home crowd and correct some of the errors they made the last time, they might be able to win their third straight game and beat the Celtics for the first time this season.
