Celtics host Raptors and look to remain undefeated in preseason – NBC Sports Boston

The Boston Celtics hope to remain undefeated in the preseason when they take on the Toronto Raptors on Sunday at TD Garden.

It’s the second night of a back-to-back for the C’s, who are coming off a 139-89 rout of the Philadelphia 76ers. Head coach Joe Mazzulla announced during his pre-game press conference that Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, Luke Kornet and Al Horford will get the night off.

That sets the stage for the dynamic bench duo of Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard to take over. Big man Xavier Tillman will look to continue his impressive preseason, and we should take an extended look at Boston’s reserves, including Jordan Walsh, Lonnie Walker IV, Baylor Scheierman and JD Davison.

The opening tip is set for 7:00 PM ET. Check out our live blog below for scores, highlights, analysis and more during the matchup:
