As the Toronto Raptors head to Boston, all eyes should be on Jamal Shead to exceed the 9.5 points and rebounds mark. While his recent averages might suggest a hesitancy, the numbers tell a different story. In his last four games, Shead has hit this mark three times, showcasing his ability to step up when it counts. Historically against the Celtics, he's put up about 8.4 points, and though he averages a modest 6.8 points and 0.6 rebounds away, the stakes are higher in this matchup.
