The Boston Celtics head north tonight to take on the Toronto Raptors in their 2025 preseason game at Scotiabank Arena.
Boston is coming off an impressive 121–103 win over the Memphis Grizzlies in their preseason opener, while Toronto looks to build momentum after bouncing back from an earlier loss.
The Celtics enter this game adapting to life without Jayson Tatum, who is out for the season following an Achilles injury. In their first preseason showing against Memphis, the Celtics leaned heavily on Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, and the depth pieces. Brown dropped 21 points in just 20 minutes, and White added 16 points with 10 assists, while contributors like Hugo González and Josh Minott made an energetic impact in limited minutes.
Brown has clearly stepped into a leadership role in Tatum’s absence, but the toll of Boston’s fast-paced style could test the 28-year-old over the course of the season. It will be interesting to see how Joe Mazzulla tweaks the rotation and which players step up to share the responsibility.
On the Raptors’ side, veteran center Jakob Poeltl is a game-time decision, while Scottie Barnes and Ulrich Chomche are listed as questionable. In their latest preseason outing, Toronto edged past Sacramento 130–122 behind a strong all-around performance. Brandon Ingram led the way with 21 points, six rebounds, and three assists in just 23 minutes, impressively doing so with zero turnovers.
Ja’Kobe Walter chipped in 15 off the bench, and Gradey Dick drilled 6-of-7 shooting en route to 14 points in only 15 minutes.
Toronto caught fire from deep throughout the game, shooting 54.1% from downtown. The Kings made runs, but Toronto’s perimeter shooting ─ and their ability to close with composure ─ proved decisive.
