Jakob Poltl has been a major contributor for the Raptors this season, and our NBA expert expects another big night from the Raps' center.
It was the Raptors’ sixth loss in a row, dropping their record to 2-11 on the season. And their reward for losing a hard-fought game? Traveling on the road immediately to take on the reigning NBA championNot surprisingly, the Raptors are massive 16.5-point road dogs for this one. But if you’re looking for a Raps’ bright spot in this one, look no further than big man Jakob Poltl.
And while the Celtics are a great team, defending the interior is one of their weaknesses. Boston enters this game ranked 22nd in opponent points in the paint per game and 23rd in points allowed to opposing centers per game. While the Raptors have struggled as a team on offense lately, there is someone other than Jakob Poltl who has tried to pick up the slack, and that is Ochai Agbaji.
