Cavs vs. Celtics Prediction:
Cleveland looks to bounce back from their loss in Orlando last night, while Boston returns to action after defeating the Knicks last Friday.
Give me Boston here. Cleveland played a tough game in Orlando last night, where their two stars, Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell both played over 35 minutes. The Cavs are also likely to be short-handed once again, as it doesn’t seem LeVert and Mobley will be available. With the success the Celtics have had at home this season, while also being rested and healthy. This feels like the perfect spot for a Celtics blowout. Lay the number.
