On the final day of 2024, there are six NBA games scheduled, including the Toronto Raptors vs Boston Celtics matchup. The Raptors are entering the game on a 10-game losing streak, while the Celtics are trying to end the year on a winning note.
It has been a tough season for the Raptors, who are 7-25 and sitting 14th in the Eastern Conference standings. The Celtics, on the other hand, have been inconsistent in their last 10 games with just five wins. They are still second in the East, but the New York Knicks are closing in on them.
Tuesday's game will be the second meeting of the season between the two teams. The Celtics avoided an upset at home on Nov. 16 with a 126-123 overtime win, led by Jayson Tatum's game-winning 3-point shot at the buzzer.

Toronto Raptors vs Boston Celtics Betting Tips
Jayson Tatum is averaging 28.5 points per game this season and has an over/under of 26.5 points. Tatum is favored to go under since he has not scored 23 points or more in back-to-back games. However, you can bet on him to go over against the Toronto Raptors given that it's an easier matchup.
Jaylen Brown has an over/under of 24.5 points and is favored to score at least 25 points. Brown is averaging 24.9 ppg this season and has gone over 24.5 points in three of his last four games. Place your money on Brown to go over since he has been on fire as of late.
Scottie Barnes is averaging 19.9 ppg this season and is favored to go under 20.5 points against the Boston Celtics. Barnes has scored 21 points or more in two of his last five games. Take the odds and bet on him to continue an underwhelming season and score less than 20.5 points.
Gradey Dick is one of the most improved players of the season, but has been struggling recently. Dick is favored to go under 15.5 points, which is not a bad bet to make since he has only scored 16 points or more once in his last four games. He only had six points in Toronto's previous game versus the Atlanta Hawks.
Toronto Raptors vs Boston Celtics Prediction
The Boston Celtics are the overwhelming favorites to beat the Toronto Raptors. The Celtics might not be playing to their potential, but they are still the much better team in Tuesday's game.
The prediction is an easy win for the Celtics, covering the -17 spread and the total going over 233 points.
