Game Preview
The Cavaliers are 21-6 on the road this year and have the fewest road defeats of all NBA teams. Their previous away game was in Orlando, where they humiliated the Magic 122-82.
Donovan Mitchell and the boys are the No.2 scoring offense in the NBA, with 122.9 points per game. Spida himself scores 24 buckets each night with 45.5% FG.
The Cs lost to the Pistons in Detroit, 117-97. It was only their second defeat in the past 10 games, though we need to add that Joe Mazzulla’s boys played on the second of back-to-back nights.
Jayson Tatum had 27 points while Payton Pritchard added 18 off the bench. Jaylen Brown was out, and he is still questionable for this Friday’s event.
Cavaliers vs. Celtics Head to Head
Boston leads 2-1 in the season series against the Cavaliers. They won at home 120-117, lost in Ohio 115-111, and won the most recent event, also in Cleveland, 112-105.
Cavaliers vs. Celtics Predictions
The main thing here is whether Brown plays. His intensity and defense are unmatchable, and with the reigning NBA Finals MVP on the floor, the Cs are 30% better. If he plays, we pick Boston to win.
