The Toronto Raptors play host to the Boston Celtics in Orlando on Friday.

The Celtics (45-23) come into this matchup trading off wins and losses across their last six games while losing six of their last 10 games in total. That's a strange stretch from one of the best teams in the league but a 34-point victory in their most recent game is hopefully a sign of things to come. Getting Kemba Walker back to a full workload is definitely a huge boost for this club and this is actually the first time all season that they've had a full roster to work with. That's a dangerous thought with a genius like Brad Stevens running the show and he is plenty capable of painting a masterpiece with this roster as constructed.

The Raptors (49-18) have looked like the best team in this restart, going undefeated and winning seven-straight games in total. All of the Orlando wins have come against teams who are in the postseason and that just emphasizes how good this team can be. Much like Boston, this is the first time they've been healthy all year too. Having Kyle Lowry, Fred VanVleet, Norman Powell, Marc Gasol, Pascal Siakam and Serge Ibaka in a rotation is amazing and it's really no surprise that they're defending champions, despite losing Kawhi Leonard. Many people don't have them as a threat to repeat but this form in the Orlando restart is definitely opening eyes and changing minds.

This marks the fourth meeting between these teams, with Boston winning two of their three games.
