Other than an ugly loss to the Indiana Pacers, the Boston Celtics have looked like the defending NBA champs so far, racing out to a 6-1 record. That includes a very impressive win at Detroit last night where Tony Allen scored 12 of his 23 points in the second quarter, lifting Boston to an 88-76 win over the previously-undefeated Pistons.

Tonight they take on the Toronto Raptors, who also raced out of the blocks with a 3-0 start but have since dropped two of three games. The Raptors fought off a sluggish start to knock off the Charlotte Bobcats on Sunday afternoon as Chris Bosh scored 30 points with a season-high 15 rebounds in the 89-79 victory.

Can the Raptors pull off the road upset tonight and improve on a chilly 1-5 ATS run in their last six meetings with the Celtics?
