00:00 The Toronto Raptors have a chance to clinch the two-seed in the Eastern Conference tonight when they take on the Boston Celtics in
00:06 What may be a playoff preview of what would be a highly anticipated second round Eastern Conference matchup
00:13 Here are three things to watch for
00:16 number one
00:18 Pascal Siakam vs. Jason Tatum
00:21 Siakam and Tatum are two of the best young players in the NBA and have really had breakout years this season
00:27 They have identical net ratings according to NBA stats
00:31 And it will be interesting to see how the two teams defend each other.
00:34 Two, the Raptors offense against Boston's defense
00:37 The Raptors have struggled at times this year going up against the NBA's top defenses
00:41 They didn't show it much against the Lakers last week
00:44 But Boston will present another tough defensive challenge for the Raptors to have to overcome.
00:49 And number three, a playoff preview
00:51 I mentioned it earlier
00:53 This game could be a second round playoff series with both teams all but locked into the 2-3 seed in the East
01:00 I would be a little bit surprised if the Raptors try a few tricks tonight
01:03 There will certainly be a lot to watch for tonight and tune in at 9 o'clock Eastern for the game's tip-off
01:09 off.
