Boston Celtics: 3 more matchups to look for in series vs. Raptors

Boston Celtics matchup vs Raptors: Siakam/Anunoby v Tatum/Brown

Ultimately in the NBA, the team with the best player in the series will usually win. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are the best two players in this series, and I don’t think it is close anymore.

They have blossomed into one of the best wing duos in the league and are nipping at the heals of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.

Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby are extremely fun to watch. They play hard, defend at a high level, and play within themselves on the offensive end.

If I were a high school basketball coach and wanted to show my wings good film to watch it would be these two. Anunoby and Siakam’s development jump from really good to All-Star status (in Anunoby’s case, it’s still just All-Star caliber) is what makes this team dangerous and 2020 championship contenders.

I look for Tatum and Brown to dominate this matchup.

I think they will need to if the Boston Celtics want to win the series. With no Gordon Hayward, Tatum and Brown will get plenty of shots every night and need to use their length and athleticism on the other end.

This matchup is why I take the Cs in this series. Tatum and Brown are too much to handle when they get cooking and they look awfully comfortable so far in the bubble.

Oh ya, Kyle Lowry could also miss some time.

Series Prediction: Celtics win in 6 games.
