The Toronto Raptors have enjoyed great success versus division rival Boston this season and can complete a four-game sweep of the season series with a victory in Beantown on Wednesday.

One player to watch out for is Boston point guard Isaiah Thomas. Thomas has averaged 26.5 points in 10 games this month, a huge output in the absence of forward Jae Crowder.
Crowder will miss his sixth straight matchup due to a nagging ankle injury, but head coach Brad Stevens stated he could return sometime during Boston’s five-game road trip that begins Saturday against Phoenix.
