Game Total 225.5Key Storylines
No Jrue Holiday on Tuesday: After missing four games with a shoulder injury, veteran Jrue Holiday came back against the Sixers and Knicks last week, and will now miss the first half of Boston’s next back-to-back, as he’s out vs. Toronto for resting purposes. The point guard should be available against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday, which is the tougher match of this set for the Eastern Conference team.
Luke Kornet will also miss the match with personal matters, Al Horford (toe) is listed as questionable, Neemias Queta (illness) and Xavier Tillman (knee) are probable. Payton Pritchard is poised to receive the bulk of minutes at the point guard position on their road trip to Canada, while Sam Hauser could see an increase in playing time as well.
Poeltl return is near: Toronto center Jakob Poeltl is listed as questionable against Boston after missing seven games with a hip injury. If he suits up, there’s a chance he plays a set amount of minutes in his return, as the Raptors take care of his conditioning. Only Gradey Dick (thigh) remains listed in the injury report, being probable for Tuesday’s match.
Orlando Robinson, Chris Boucher and Jonathan Mogbo could take a hit in minutes and production once Jakob returns, which limits Toronto’s ability to provide a decent streamer for this match.
Stream of the Game
Gradey Dick is your best bet for a stream as his minutes are the most consistent from what’s available.
Alternatives: Sam Hauser (points, 3s), Ochai Agbaji (3s, steals), Chris Boucher (points, rebounds), Ja’Kobe Walter (points, rebounds, steals), Jamal Shead (3s, assists), Orlando Robinson (rebounds).
