The Raptors head to Boston tonight to take on the Celtics with the chance to get back to .500 for the first time since the season began. loung_s breaks down three things to watch during the game ⤵️

’ road back to respectability has been filled with many ups and downs but the goal is right there after a disastrous 2-8 start to the campaign.Thursday at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT on Sportsnet Ontario, Sportsnet East and Sportsnet ONE.

On one hand, historical evidence doesn’t lie. Powell is definitely a better starter than he is a reserve player, averaging about eight points more per game when given the chance to start than coming off the bench. The old aggression and swagger he had going to the basket while looking to finish rather than just trying to get calls has been a noticeable shift in his play and is a major reason he’s been more efficient and more successful. Additionally, his aggression has been rewarded with those free-throw attempts he had been trying to draw – he’s taking about seven free throws per game during that six-game span.
