The league’s report also lists Kawhi Leonard out, with his left knee under injury management. Sportsnet’s Blake Murphy reported on Tuesday that Leonard is still reconditioning and that the club will give another update in a week. Immanuel Quickley (hamstring), Collin Murray-Boyles and Trayce Jackson-Davis (both illness) are questionable, and Nate Bittle is out.

How the Celtics and Raptors compare this season
League rank out of 30 on this season’s box scores (11 and 10 games). Ratings are points per 100 possessions, estimated from the box score.
Boston has the best net rating in the league at +11.8 and makes 38.4 per cent of its threes, third in the NBA. Toronto’s 31.8 per cent ranks 27th. The Raptors’ edge is still on the glass, where they rank second in offensive rebounding.
Toronto’s guards against Boston’s shooting is where this is decided. Jamal Shead ran the offence on Monday with 20 points and 11 assists, but without Barnes the Raptors are short of a second creator if Quickley sits too.

Score prediction
Celtics 114-107 Raptors. Boston has won its four games since losing in Houston by 7, 39, 20 and 22 points. Toronto is 2-2 at home, and without Barnes or Leonard we expect the Celtics by about seven.
Celtics vs Raptors prediction
The Canadian books make Boston about a 71 per cent chance, and its net rating is 8.6 points per 100 possessions better than Toronto’s.
The spread is 7.5 at four books and 8.5 at TonyBet, and with the Celtics on the second night of a back-to-back and Quickley’s hamstring still undecided, we would rather back Boston to win than ask it to cover a number that sits right on our margin.
Our pick: the Celtics to win. The spread runs from −7.5 to −8.5, at or past our seven-point margin, so we pass on it.
What would change it: if Quickley returns and Boston rests a starter on the back-to-back, we would call it close to a coin flip.
