The Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse will host NBA action for the third time this week when the Cleveland Cavaliers take on the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night. The Cavs (40-9) are the leading team in the Eastern Conference, while the Celts (35-15) follow closely in second position. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

The Cleveland Cavaliers are heating up once again as they are now looking for a fifth consecutive victory following a ruthless 144-101 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. 

Sam Merril and Evan Mobley broke the 20-point mark, with six other teammates adding 10 or more to the scoreline as the Cavs made 57% of their 93 field attempts. 

The Cavaliers boast the second-best offence in the league (122.6 points per game) while occupying 10th in the defensive charts (111.8 PPG).

Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics showed their class, rallying against the Philidelphia 76ers on Sunday, overcoming a 26-point deficit, to secure a 118-110 victory on the road. 

MVP candidate Jayson Tatum proved invaluable once again, contributing 35 points, seven rebounds and 11 assists as the Celtics converted exactly half of their 84 field attempts in the victory. 

Boston sits fifth in the offensive and defensive scoring charts, averaging 117.3 points per game while allowing 108.5 PPG.
