Our Cavaliers vs. Celtics predictions expect Boston to get the last laugh against undefeated Cleveland.
The Cleveland Cavaliers’ 15-game win streak to start the season puts them on a collision course with the Boston Celtics, and they come face-to-face with the NBA champions tonight.
The Celtics just seem to have more answers in this matchup. Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell have been terrific this year as the dual engines for this Cavs offense, but you couldn’t ask for a better defensive backcourt than Jrue Holiday — back from a knee issue — and Derrick White to apply the brakes.
I’m also keying in on the hosts’ shooting depth, with Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser coming off the bench, while the Cavs are missing Max Strus, Dean Wade, and possibly Caris LeVert and Isaac Okoro. He’s pulled down 9+ boards in four of his last five outings, and he led Boston with 11 rebounds against the Raptors in Saturday’s OT victory.
While the visitors are 11-4 ATS overall this season, they’re only 2-3 ATS in their past five outings.
