Boston Celtics vs. Cleveland Cavaliers
By: Sanjay Belani

Running Score: 5-3


Two of the best teams in the Eastern Conference clash as the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers host the Boston Celtics in a highly anticipated showdown.


In their previous two meetings this season, both teams defended their home court. Cleveland edged out Boston 115-111 in their last matchup, led by a dominant 35-point performance from Donovan Mitchell and a thrilling fourth-quarter comeback.


While the Cavaliers have been impressive all season, a fully healthy Boston squad can compete with anyone in the league. The Celtics had control for much of their previous meeting before a late-game collapse, meaning this series could easily be 2-0 in their favor.


Heading into this game, I like Boston’s chances. They have momentum, strong road form, and a proven track record against Cleveland. Look for the Celtics to bounce back and grab a win at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.


Current Odds (via Arena Plus):

Spread: Boston Celtics +2.0 | Cleveland Cavaliers -2.0

Moneyline: Boston Celtics 2.03 | Cleveland Cavaliers 1.78

Total Points: Over 237.5 | Under 237.5


Hot Trends:

Sanjay’s Pick: Boston +2.0
