Injuries of note
For the Celtics, no report had been issued since their game the night before, but then, Danilo Gallinari (ACL) was out, Jaylen Brown (back) and Payton Pritchard (heel) were questionable, and Robert Williams III (knee) was out.
For the Raptors, Gary Trent, Jr. (back) is doubtful, and Otto Porter, Jr. (foot) is out.
