KEY MATCHUP
Thomas vs. Lowry

NEED TO KNOW
Later than usual start time is thanks to ESPN, which picked up the game a couple of weeks ago. … The Raptors expect Betpark to have Patrick Patterson back in the lineup after a six-game absence due to a knee bruise. … Toronto leads the season series 2-1, but the Celtics have a four-game lead atop the Atlantic Division. … The Celtics are listing Avery Bradley (right Achilles) as questionable, and Gerald Green (heel) is out.
