The Raptors have played at the 8th-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 20 games.The Raptors will likely suffer a drop-off in opportunities in this contest from being pitted against the most sluggish pace offense in the league this year (the Boston Celtics).Offensive rebounds maintain possession and result in further chances for scoring and assists, but the Raptors grade out 10thworst in in the league with only 10.6 offensive boards per game this year.Over the last 5 games when they are playing at home, the opposition's starting SFs have attempted 1.5 foul shots per game (5th-lowest in the league) vs. the Boston Celtics, facing an uphill battle to get to the charity stripe.
