Cleveland Cavaliers vs Boston Celtics Preview

The Cavaliers are on song again

The Cavaliers will enter this contest after thrashing the Mavericks by 43 points as Sam Merrill put in 27 points. This was their fourth win in a row, erasing the hurt of three-game losing streaks earlier. The team excels in stitching winning streaks, having already compiled a 15-game and a 12-game winning streak. Their offense is incredible and they have put up 122.6 points per game(2nd) while making 16.3 triples a game(2nd) on an excellent 39.6% shooting from deep(1st). Will the Cavs continue their terrific Regular Season and dominate through the postseason?

The Celtics have lost some zip but remain favorites to win it all

The Celtics come into this match after an 8-point win against the Philadelphia 76ers as Jayson Tatum had an imposing 35-point night. They are currently on a three-game winning streak, helping them recover from a sub-par 6-6 period before that. The Celts are the best three-point shooting team but they have sometimes relied too much on the long-range weapon(17.8 three-point makes in 48.5 attempts per game). However, this three-point-heavy method made them the champions last season and although their production has dwindled, the Celtics still can cruise through East and at least make it to the Finals for the third time in four seasons.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Boston Celtics– Final Prediction and Additional Information

This a spicy battle between the two top seeds in the East. While the bookmakers will mark the Cavs as the favorite, one can’t underestimate the defending champs. At any rate, we are probably going to see more than 90 attempts from deep in this game. The three-point battle can result in a high-scoring shootout and take the total past 245 points. I’d back the Cavs to get it done here.
