The last match between the two teams took place on 6 December 2022 at the Scotiabank Arena which is the home of the Raptors.
The Celtics defeated the Raptors, 116-110 as Jayson Tatum produced an impressive display - leading all scorers with 31 points and 12 rebounds for the winners.
The Raptors are sitting in 11th place on the Eastern Conference standings having recorded just 20 victories and 24 defeats from 44 games.
While the Celtics are placed at the top of the Eastern Conference standings having registered 33 wins and 12 defeats from 45 matches.
Fred VanVleet scored 33 points and Scottie Barnes had 26 as the Raptors recovered to beat the New York Knicks 123-121 on Monday, January 16.
“Our offence was really bad. We didn’t run our offence with enough energy and pace," Raptors head coach Steve Nurse said after their win over the Knicks.
"That translated directly to our defence energy and movements. We’ve got a bunch of accountability factors that we look at and we take into consideration.
“Even those, you can score very high on and not have the greatest energy in the world. I think the energy vibe is certainly off, no doubt about it.”
