Breaking down how key Celtics, Raptors have fared in Game 7

2 games: 22.0 PPG, 47.1% FG, 30.0% 3-pt FG, 6.5 RPG (1-1 record)

While most of the Celtics' stars have struggled in past Game 7s, Jayson Tatum was able to rise to the challenge in his two Game 7 appearances, both in his rookie season.

Tatum scored 20 in a win over the Bucks, and then added a team-high 24 (including a ferocious dunk over LeBron James) in the C's Game 7 loss to the Cavaliers two seasons ago.

3 games: 8.0 PPG, 32.1% FG, 22.2% 3-pt FG, 3.3 RPG (2-1 record)

In his first two career Game 7 appearances, Jaylen Brown came off the bench and had limited contributions, but the C's were expecting more from him against Cleveland two seasons ago.

But in 39 minutes, Brown scored only 13 points on 5-of-18 shooting, and his 3-for-12 stat line from three-point land was part of a brutal outside shooting performance from the Celtics, who shot a horrific 17.9 percent from beyond the arc.

1 game: 9 points, 3/16 FG, 1/5 3-pt FG, 6 assists (0-1 record)

Kemba Walker isn't only looking to rebound from a game in which he only scored 5 points in 51-plus minutes on the floor, he's also looking to improve upon the only Game 7 of his postseason career.

In the first round of the 2016 playoffs, Walker followed up a 37-point performance against the Heat with a 3-for-16 shooting performance in Game 7 -- his worst playoff game from the field until Game 6 against the Raptors. Even worse than that? The Hornets were obliterated in that game, 106-73.

3 games: 7.3 PPG, 29.2% FG, 22.2% 3-pt FG, 5.7 APG (2-1 record)

Marcus Smart fared well in his first Game 7 appearance in 2017 against the Wizards, coming off the bench to chip in 13 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

But his last Game 7? Ugh. In the Celtics' loss to the Cavaliers in the 2018 Eastern Conference Finals, Smart managed just 4 points on 1-for-10 shooting in 31 minutes.

5 games: 18.4 PPG, 42.6% FG, 41.7% 3-pt FG, 5.2 RPG, 6.0 APG (3-2 record)

The player with the most Game 7 experience heading into tonight's contest is Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry, who scored 35 points in a Game 7 win over Miami in 2016 and 28 points in a Game 7 loss to the Nets in 2014.

The Celtics will be hoping to see the Lowry who only scored a total of 29 points on 38 percent shooting over his other three Game 7 appearances, however.
