**Celtics Look to Continue Undefeated Preseason Streak Against Raptors in Toronto**
**TORONTO** – The Boston Celtics (1-0) travel to Scotiabank Arena tonight to face the Toronto Raptors (1-1) in their second preseason game. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 PM ET.
Coming off a dominant win against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Celtics will look to maintain momentum and continue developing chemistry with a roster featuring a mix of returning veterans and eight new additions. Key departures from last season include Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, Jrue Holiday and Luke Kornet, while notable newcomers include Anfernee Simons, Josh Minott, Chris Boucher, Hugo Gonzalez, Max Shulga, and Amari Williams, RJ Lewis, and Luka Garza.
The Raptors, who made limited changes in the offseason, are looking to build on their existing foundation and develop their young talent. The team is coming off a 130-122 victory over the Sacramento Kings after losing to the Nuggets.
“War-like practices” have been the Celtics team motto, with reports indicating an intense training camp focused on playing fast and hard. It’s speculated that Payton Pritchard, Anfernee Simons, and Neemias Queta, who rested in the first game, may see significant playing time tonight.
Jayson Tatum remains sidelined recovering from Achilles surgery but has excited fans with recent dunking displays. Jordan Walsh is questionable with a groin injury. The Raptors’ Scotty Barnes (knee), Jakob Poeltl (back), and Ulrich Chomche (undisclosed) are all listed as day-to-day.
One matchup to watch will be Chris Boucher facing Brandon Ingram, while another will be Anfernee Simons versus RJ Barrett. Coach Joe Mazzulla will look to see how his team is able to hold the opponent down on defense. This is key to improving the chemistry between returning and new players as well.
