    • Sam Hauser, Xavier Tillman and Jordan Walsh combined to shoot 11 of 12 from three in Saturday's win.
    • Boston has won its last two preseason games by a total of 76 points.
    • Offseason newcomer Lonnie Walker IV should get more minutes as he looks to crack the roster.

    The Boston Celtics hope to remain undefeated in the preseason when they take on the Toronto Raptors at TD Garden on Sunday.

    It's the second night in a row for the C's, who suffered a 139-89 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Head coach Joe Mazzulla announced during his pregame press conference that Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, Luke Kornet and Al Horford will have the night off.

    This creates the conditions for the takeover by the dynamic banking duo Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard. Big man Xavier Tillman will look to continue his impressive preseason, and we should take a more in-depth look at Boston's backup players, including Jordan Walsh, Lonnie Walker IV, Baylor Scheierman and JD Davison.

    Opening tip is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET. Check out our live blog below for scores, highlights, analysis and more during the matchup:
