Among the reasons to have confidence in the Raptors moving forward is the way they’ve started on the road. Tonight, against a Celtics club missing its best performer so far this year, they'll have the opportunity to keep that trend going. (loung_s)
This contest marks the start of a stretch of their season that will see them play eight of their next nine games on the road, and could go a long way to determining just what, exactly, this team is – particularly with Pascal Siakam back and playing, albeit on a minutes restriction right now.
Granted, four games isn’t much of a sample size, but you have to wonder if the experience the Raptors went through last season, playing in Tampa, Fla., and, essentially, playing their entire season on the road sparked something in some of the players on this team – like OG Anunoby and Fred VanVleet – to be absolutely comfortable in hostile environments.
Celtics star forward Jaylen Brown will miss Wednesday’s game with a right hamstring strain and Philadelphia 76ers superstar centre Joel Embiid is in league health and safety protocols, and likely won’t be available Thursday when the Raptors visit Philadelphia.
