The Toronto Raptors had no idea what hit them when they faced off the in-form Boston Celtics in their Eastern Conference Playoff series. They were beaten 112-94 in the series opener and will be keen to get back to even the series. Celtics, on the other hand, have put their name as serious contenders for the title this year. Ahead of the second game, here's everything you need to know.

Time

The game is slated to start 5.30 pm ET on ESPN

Venue

Both sides will face off at the Disney Wide World of Sports, Orlando, Florida

Where to watch?

Fans can watch the game live on ESPN.

How to live stream?

NBA TV is the easiest and most preferred option. YouTube TV is the second most looked at as it provides access to ESPN, TNT, ABC, and NBA TV as well as a good amount of regional sports networks including those linked to Fox and NBC. Priced at $64.99, it comes across as a complete package. Other options include Sling TV and fuboTV that can be availed at reasonable prices.

Pre-buzz around the game

Gordon Hayward's return further bolsters the Celtics' strength. Add Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Kemba Walker to the mix and the Raptors will be wary of the Greens threat looming large in Game 2. The Raptors offense is still a cause of concern. Pascal Siakam and Kyle Lowry will be the ones to watch out for when the Raptors hit the court on Tuesday. Celtics, after netting 17 3-pointers were two shy of a playoff franchise record and will be looking at continuing the dominant display against the Raptors.

Who will win?

The question is if the Raptors can pull off an upset win as Oklahoma City Thunder did? They don't have to look beyond Chris Paul & Co for more inspiration as they dismantled the Houston Rockets gameplan in the fourth quarter to win 104-100 on Monday. However, as far as predictions go, the clinical Celtics might just take this game as well. We'll be going with Boston for this one and the series overall.
