The Celtics and Raptors will face off for the first time in postseason history on Thursday, kicking off what will be the most anticipated second-round matchup of the NBA playoffs. We will have a multi-part scouting report on the series in the coming days, but here are some initial pressing questions about the matchup after reviewing film of the team's regular season contests.
1. What is the condition of Kyle Lowry's foot?
The Raptors had a walkover in their first-round series against the Nets that wrapped up on Sunday, but there was a significant development in the first half. All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry went down with a foot injury that sidelined him for the game.
