Overview

• Tipoff is 7:30 p.m. ET at TD Garden, with coverage on TSN and NBA TV nationally and NBC Sports Boston locally.
• Boston enters 2-1 and closes its four-game preseason slate, while Toronto is 3-1 on a three-win run after taking last week’s meeting on Jonathan Mogbo’s buzzer-beater.
• Tatum remains out with an Achilles issue, and Boston lists Jordan Walsh as a game-time decision with an adductor/groin injury.
• Poeltl has yet to appear this preseason due to back/illness and is a game-time call, with multiple outlets publishing projected lineups contingent on his availability.
• Chris Boucher, who posted 19 points and 9 rebounds in the last matchup, is pushing for rotation minutes as Joe Mazzulla tests a faster pace and quick-decision offense in evaluation-focused minutes.
