The Celtics take on the Raptors at TD Garden on Saturday night at 7:00 p.m. ET.
The Boston Celtics defeated the Brooklyn Nets 121-107 on Friday night at TD Garden, snapping a two-game losing streak.
Jaylen Brown (28 points) and Jayson Tatum (23 points) combined for 51 points in the hosts’ first matchup of the NBA’s inaugural in-season tournament. 
Al Horford did not play in that game, which was the first of Boston’s first back-to-back of the 2023-24 season. While this differs from last season, when he missed the second game of a two-game series, the former Florida Gator is off the injured list and will play against the Toronto Raptors on Saturday night.
At the TD Garden, Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (8) reacts to game action with guard Jaylen Brown (7) and center Al Horford (42).
Kristaps Porzingis, a seven-foot-three center with a long injury history who battled plantar fasciitis this offseason, told Inside The Celtics on Friday that he’ll be available for both halves of these back-to-back games. The former All-Star is also not listed as injured on Boston’s injury report.
The Celtics’ only player listed is center Neemias Queta. The 24-year-old Portugueseman will miss his seventh consecutive game as he recovers from soreness in his right foot.
