Cleveland Cavaliers vs Boston Celtics Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions
Monday in the NBA sees an Eastern Conference clash between two playoff teams when the Cleveland Cavaliers host the Boston Celtics at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Both of these teams find themselves ranked in the top four seeds in the conference and we could be looking at a potential playoff matchup somewhere down the line in this game. The Cavaliers come in holding the fourth seed with their record of 40 wins and 26 losses on the season. They’re coming off a 114-90 home win over the Pistons on Saturday in their last game. The win was the Cavs second from their last three games as they look to recover from a recent three game losing streak that the team suffered in the week prior. Cleveland will be buoyed by its tremendous home form this season, where the Cavaliers have managed to win an impressive 27 of its 34 games.
The Celtics have title aspirations this season after falling short to the Warriors in the NBA Finals last season. Led by Jayson Tatum, who is putting up MVP-caliber numbers, and a strong supporting cast including All-Star Jaylen Brown, the Celtics are one of the oddsmakers’ favorites to go all the way. Boston currently sits second in the East with a record of 45 wins and 20 losses. They find themselves 1.5 games back on the Bucks who have been on an absolute tear recently. The Celtics will attempt to make up some ground as they look to recover from back-to-back losses following a 131-129 double overtime defeat to the Knicks on Sunday. The loss was Boston’s third in the last four games in a sequence which saw them concede the top spot in the East.

Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Boston Celtics Prediction
Celtics stars Tatum and Brown played nearly 50 minutes on Sunday and will now have to turn around and play one of the NBA’s toughest defenses on the very next night. This is a very tricky spot for Boston and they could be ripe for a sound beating at the hands of this hungry Cavaliers side. With how well Cleveland has been performing at home against the spread combined with the situational spot that Boston finds itself in, this looks like a clear spot to back the home favorites to get the win here. Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Boston Celtics prediction: Cavaliers -3.5 point spread
