Cleveland Cavaliers vs Boston Celtics Prediction & Picks - NBA

 by Stephen Abiola | in NBA Picks

The Cavaliers needed to gather all their resources to secure a 4-3 victory against Orlando in Round 1 of the NBA playoff series. Now the task gets even more challenging as they are up against the East’s top seed, Boston Celtics, who had zero qualms dispatching Miami 4-1 in their own series. They had to overcome an 18-point deficit on Sunday night to beat the Magic 106-94 in Game 7. The Cavs will now travel to the TD Center on Tuesday night as the sizeable underdogs against the Celtics, who are looking to end their 16-year NBA Championship drought. Boston has been outstanding throughout the season, and anything less than a win against the Cavs will be a huge disappointment. They won the regular NBA season series against the Cavs 2-1, with all games won by the home team. Boston has that extra home advantage in this postseason tournament.

Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Boston Celtics Prediction

Boston are the 11-point favorites in this matchup that could prove trickier than their last playoff assignment. This is their fourth encounter in the playoffs against Cleveland in the previous ten years, with the Cavs winning three contests. Of course, this record counts for nothing this season, as Boston is clearly the better side after a dominant 64-18 regular season. Note that all of the Boston-Cleveland matchups in the regular season were decided by fewer than 10 points. This proves we could witness a tightly contested series. Our prediction for Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavaliers: Boston Celtics to win Round 1!
