Tatum leads charge in comeback victory over Sixers

Jayson Tatum ended Sunday’s comeback victory over the 76ers with 35 points, seven rebounds, 11 assists, a steal, a block and five triples across 44 minutes. Tatum led the charge for a Celtics team that went down by more than 20 points in the third quarter and erased a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit. He’s now got 19 double-doubles and 19 games with at least 30 points under his belt in a season that’s seen him play at an MVP caliber. He’ll look to be at his best against Eastern Conference heavyweight Cleveland on Tuesday.

Merrill sets new career high for triples

Sam Merrill lit it up from beyond the arc, delivering 27 points and nine triples across 23 minutes in Sunday’s 43-point win over Dallas. The triples mark a new career high for Merrill who shot a blistering 9-of-13 from beyond the arc. He tied his career high with 27 points and led his team in scoring on a night where Cleveland decimated the reeling Mavericks by 43 points. Merrill’s excellent play off the bench is representative of why Cleveland’s offense has been so lethal this season, but don’t count on this type of production every night.

Celtics vs. Cavs NBA Prediction:

Take Boston. The Celtics have won seven out of the last 10 meetings between these two teams. Granted, the Cavs won in Cleveland back in December of this season. That said, the win snapped a four-game losing streak for the Cavs in this series. Boston has won three straight games, which includes its dramatic comeback over the 76ers in Philadelphia on Sunday. The Celtics haven’t covered in their last two games, but they were double digit favorites in both games. That won’t be the case tonight in Cleveland. While the Cavs have won four straight games and have covered in four straight as well, I’m backing Boston tonight.

Celtics vs. Cavs Betting Prediction: BOSTON CELTICS +2
