The Toronto Raptors have some positive momentum for the first time this season, as their last two contests include a miraculous comeback against the San Antonio Spurs and a dominant victory against the Dallas Mavericks. Will they stay hot against Jayson Tatum and the mighty Boston Celtics?

Even with some recent slip-ups, there is a genuine chance that Boston is the best team in the NBA. Tatum is playing at a high level, Kristaps Porzingis has been a tremendous trade addition, and the team’s defense just might be the most ferocious in the league.

If Darko Rajakovic wants to lead Toronto to their third straight road victory on the bounce, he will need to come out with a near-perfect plan for how to attack one of the more complementary lineups in the game. Will it work, or will Darko fall flat on his face against Joe Mazzulla?

Tatum appears to be ready to go despite the Celtics having played a game against the rival Nets on Friday. Back-to-backs may sideline Tatum later in the season, but he appears ready to give Toronto all they can handle as Boston tries to pad their lead.
