The matchup vs. Toronto is a challenging one for shot attempts from downtown; when the Toronto Raptors are on their home court, the opposition's starting SFs have tallied the least 3-point attempts per game in the league this year (3.1).The most lethargic pace-of-play road team in the league over the last 15 games has been the Celtics.The Toronto Raptors have played at the 4th-least up-tempo tempo in the NBA over the last 5 games with the home court advantage, which should lead to fewer opportunities for the Celtics.The Boston Celtics check in as the 5th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).Sam Hauser is expected to suffer a reduction in performance in all stat categories due to playing away from home in this game.
