NBA: 8 most anticipated matchups of the second-half schedule

Notable NBA games to look forward to in the second half of the schedule: March 4, Toronto Raptors vs. Boston Celtics

While this game was already known, having been part of the first half of the schedule, it is still a notable matchup. The Toronto Raptors had a very rocky start of the season and have since made their way back to their normal ways of an Eastern Conference threat.

The Boston Celtics are in an internal frenzy right now trying to figure out what exactly is their Achilles heel that is keeping them from making the jump from a good team to a great one. Both Boston and Toronto have gaping holes in their frontcourt with neither team having a reliable center down the stretch (unless you count Toronto’s Chris Boucher who up-and-coming but didn’t even start the first half of the season).

While these two teams have very obvious flaws, they appear to have very similar issues which could pose as another reason why this matchup will be that much more entertaining. With All-Stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown leading the C’s against the North’s Pascal Siakam, Kyle Lowry, and Fred VanVleet, the game will feel like one we’ve certainly seen before but will remain equally if not more exciting than the previous.
