Coming off a first-round sweep of the Brooklyn Nets, the Toronto Raptors will begin their Eastern Conference second-round playoff series against the Boston Celtics at The Field House near Orlando on Thursday. Toronto has not played since last Sunday.
Fred VanVleet has scored 21.3 points per game in the playoffs with Pascal Siakam at 20.8. Serge Ibaka averaged a team-best 10.3 rebounds in the first round. Kyle Lowry (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Game 1. The Raptors scored a franchise-record 150 points in Sunday’s series-clinching win while shooting 55.4 percent and drilling 22 3-pointers.
