The Toronto Raptors will face the Boston Celtics tonight in an NBA game free live streaming online from the TD Garden in Boston at 7:30 PM ET

The Raptors try to avoid a 12th consecutive road loss to the Celtics as these teams open a home-and-home set Wednesday night.

Toronto (39-31) is coming off Tuesday's 102-100 loss at Cleveland, its fourth defeat in six games. The Raptors are still all but certain to make the playoffs for the first time since 2007-08, but they suddenly find themselves just 1 1/2 games ahead of second-place Brooklyn with three weeks left in the regular season.

Kyle Lowry had 22 points and 10 assists for Toronto, which trailed by as many as 21 before rallying late.

Toronto and Boston have split two meetings this season, with each winning at home.

The Raptors have dropped 20 of 22 in Boston, including 11 straight by an average of 15.2 points. Their last road win over the Celtics came Jan. 23, 2008.

While the Celtics don't have much to play for, they know Toronto has plenty at stake.

The Celtics (23-47) will take the court for the first time since Friday's 114-98 loss at Brooklyn, their sixth defeat in seven games. Bradley matched a career high with 28 points, but Boston allowed the Nets to shoot 56.4 percent.
