Three things to watch as the Boston Celtics face the Toronto Raptors in Montreal

The Boston Celtics and the Toronto Raptors are set to play an exhibition contest at the Bell Centre arena in Montreal today.

The Boston Celtics and the Toronto Raptors are set to play an exhibition contest at the Bell Centre arena in Montreal as part of the league’s “NBA Canada” slate of games. It will also be the Celtics’ final preseason tilt. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Eastern.

To cover that last friendly, host of the CLNS Media “Garden Report” podcast Bobby Manning put together a preview of what fans ought to be watching for in what’s typically more of a dress rehearsal for the regular-season opener than the prior preseason contests that Boston has played thus far.

Per Manning, fans should watch to see whether combo guard Derrick White will continue to start for the Celtics, what players are part of the team’s bench unit and what kind of defense Boston will play.
