Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction & Picks - NBA

 by Stephen Abiola | in NBA Picks

Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers are locked in a heated Round 2 of the NBA playoffs. After Boston routed the Cavs 120-95 in Game 1, most punters tipped the Eastern Conference top seed to take a clean sweep against the inconsistent Cavs. However, the Cavs got their sweet revenge on Thursday night to secure a 118-94 victory and tie this series 1-1. This is a replica of Round 1 results for Boston after they lost their second home game against the Miami Heat. They, however, went on to win the series 4-1. Donovan Mitchell was once again the star of the show for the Cavs after scoring 29 points and assisting 8. Evan Mobley and Caris LeVert contributed 21 each for Cleveland. Mitchell has been a thorn in the flesh of Boston in this series after bagging 33 points in Game 1. The Cavs had to wait until the third quarter to seize the lead and dish out their own blowout. This contest now moves to Cleveland for the next two games on Saturday and Monday. Despite the double-digit win, bookmakers are not sold on the Cavs’ chances of winning Game 3, listing Boston as the 8-point favorite.

Our Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

Boston Celtics are among the favorites to lift the Championship this season and end their 16-year wait. But to do that, they must learn how to exploit their home-court advantage. They have failed this task in both rounds, although we expect them to bounce back with a road victory in Game 3. The Cavs, on their part, have shown they are no pushovers in this tie, especially when Donovan Mitchell gets the necessary support. They are now sure of at least Game 5 in Boston on Wednesday. Our prediction for Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavaliers: Over 212.5 total points!
