The Boston Celtics will end their preparations for the 2025-26 NBA season by hosting the Toronto Raptors at the TD Garden on Wednesday. This contest will be a rematch of their earlier preseason game, which resulted in a 107-105 victory for the Raptors.
The Boston Celtics have had a mixed preparation period and enter their final preseason outing with a 2-1 record. The Celtics started their warmup games with a resounding 121-103 win over the Grizzlies on Wednesday before losing to the Raptors two days later. However, they returned to winning ways against the Cleveland Cavaliers, earning a 138-107 victory on Sunday.
