(SportsNetwork.com) - The Toronto Raptors will look to clinch a playoff spot for the first time since 2008 when they host the Boston Celtics tonight at the Air Canada Centre in the back end of a home and home. After picking up a rare win in Boston, the Toronto Raptors will be back on familiar ground when they host the Celtics Friday from Air Canada Centre. Terrence Ross led the Raptors with 24 points in a 99-90 triumph, while Kyle Lowry continued his recent tear with 23 and nine rebounds. DeMar DeRozan rounded out the 20-point scorers with exactly that many and Jonas Valanciunas ended with 15 points and 14 rebounds for Toronto, which has alternated results in the last six games. The Raptors broke an 11-game losing streak in Boston, last winning there on Jan. 23, 2008. "That was a character test for us," said Toronto head coach Dwane Casey. "I think this team has a lot of character. Situations were not there yet, but again its not from a lack of fight and togetherness." Casey needs three wins to reach 100 victories with the team. The Raptors last posted 40 total wins in a season in 2009-10 (40-42) and the fastest team to reach 40 wins was the 1999-00 squad after 70 games. The current unit needed 71 games to reach the mark. Lowry has scored 19 or more points in each of the last 11 games, averaging 22.5 points in that span. DeRozan is averaging more than 20 points per game against Atlantic Division foes. Toronto leads the division by 2 1/2 games ahead of Brooklyn and is even with Chicago for the third spot in the Eastern Conference. Toronto is 21-14 north of the border this season. Boston has lost two in a row and nine of its last 12 games, and was paced by Jared Sullingers 26 points (19 in fourth quarter) and eight rebounds on Wednesday. "Sully (Sullinger) got hot and I thought even though we were really undersized we played pretty well in that time," said Boston head coach Brad Stevens. Avery Bradley had 16 points, Rajon Rondo chipped in nine and 15 assists and Chris Johnson added 13 points off the bench. The Celtics shot 41 percent from the floor and had a 51-7 advantage from their reserves. The Celtics will try to stop an eight-game road losing streak in Toronto and have an 8-26 mark as the visitor. Their previous road win was Feb. 10 against the Milwaukee Bucks. Celtics forward Jeff Green had six points in 20 minutes on Wednesday and is bothered by a stiff neck. Green hopes to play against the Raptors. Rondo needed stitches to close a cut on his forehead and returned to the game to cover Raptors All-Star DeRozan. "I think it obviously says a lot. He wants to play and not only, I think the most important part about it is he came back in and guarded DeRozan (DeMar)," Celtics coach Brad Stevens said of Rondo. "He went after it and I thought he did a pretty good job on him." Toronto is 2-1 against the Celtics this season, but the latter has prevailed in four of the last seven meetings between the teams. Boston has lost two straight, four of five and five of its last seven trips to Canada.

A 64-61 setback at Virginia Tech was the most recent disappointment for a club that is slated to get into the meat of its Southern Conference schedule when it plays at Western Carolina on Jan. 3. Prior to the season, Michigan State was considered to be one of the elite teams not only in the Big Ten Conference, but the nation as well. While they have won eight games, the Spartans have faltered in their biggest tests -- losing to Duke (81-71), Kansas (61-56) and Notre Dame (79-78 OT). Their latest outing however, will go down as one of the biggest upsets in recent memory, as coach Tom Izzos club dropped a 71-64 overtime decision to visiting Texas Southern on Saturday, putting an end to MSUs modest three-game win streak. The Tigers entered that clash with a record of 1-8. Michigan State leads the all-time series with The Citadel, 3-0, with all three meetings taking place since the 2006-07 season. MSU is 15-0 all-time against teams from the Southern Conference. Ashton Moore drained seven 3-pointers en route to 27 points, as he almost single-handedly led The Citadel to a victory over Virginia Tech on Saturday. Jake Wright added 12 points for the Bulldogs, who hit 13 treys in the contest, but shot just 33.9 percent from the field overall. They turned the ball over only seven times and held the Hokies to a miserable 3-of-16 showing from beyond the arc. VaTech had only seven miscues as well, and the home team logged a 15-6 advantage in points from the fouul line.dddddddddddd Moore continues to pace The Citadel with his 17.1 ppg, despite shooting just 38.7 percent from the floor. P.J. Horgan (12.9 ppg, 6.7 rpg) is the top rebounder and the only other double-digit scorer for a unit that is putting up 64.2 ppg, shooting a respectable 45.1 percent from the field, which includes a 39.3 percent effort from distance. The Bulldogs have played solid defense for the most part, yielding a mere 60.3 ppg. Michigan State was its own worst enemy in the embarrassing loss to Texas Southern over the weekend, as the team shot just 39.3 percent from the floor, missing the mark on 17 of its 21 3-point attempts along the way. A dismal 12- of-21 performance at the free-throw line also played a role, as did the fact that the Tigers made good on 53.2 percent of their total shots and outscored their hosts in the paint (36-32), off turnovers (15-4), and in bench points (38-26). The Spartans lost the game despite logging a 40-28 advantage on the glass. Matt Costello posted a double-double consisting of 17 points and 10 rebounds for MSU, while Denzel Valentine tacked on 15 points. Michigan State boasts four double-digit scorers in Valentine (14.2 ppg), Travis Trice (13.5 ppg), the injured Branden Dawson (10.8 ppg) and Bryn Forbes (10.4 ppg). The team as a whole is averaging 74.4 ppg while allowing only 60.6 ppg, and it is also on the plus side of the ledger with regard to FG percentage (.485 to .375), 3-point FG percentage (.423 to .279) and rebounds (+8.7). The Spartans are in the red in turnover differential (-1.2), but thats mainly because they goad the opposition into fewer than a dozen giveaways per contest. Another area they need improve is at the charity stripe, as they are converting only 62.2 percent of their tries.
