Boston Celtics

The Celtics cannot level the game as the swing continues. The club alternates defeats with victories, respectively, the ninth line in the Eastern Conference fully confirms the current form of the team.

After defeating New York (114-107), Aime Udoka planned to build on his success, but even his own walls did not help in the duel against Philadelphia (103-108). Jalaine Brown showed excellent attacking play, as he scored 30 points, but whipping is a defeat. “Boston” sorely lacks Al Horford, on whom the entire defense is based.

The Celts will again play at the home arena of TD Garden, though this time against Cleveland. Even last season it was possible not to pay attention to the Cavs, but now they simply cannot be recognized, so for the owners will clearly not be easy.

Cleveland Cavaliers

The youth "Cavaliers" are simply breaking up the Eastern Conference. The team at one point turned on and is already going third, while leaving behind the reigning champion Milwaukee, as well as Miami and Philadelphia.

Cleveland are unbeaten in six matches, although there are six players in the infirmary, including Colleen Sexton and Denzel Valentine, who would certainly strengthen the team. In the last meeting JB Bickerstaff's charges dealt with the Bucks on the road (119-90). The guests were simply unstoppable and Jedi Osman and Darius Garland scored 45 points.

The Cavalry keep the bar high and will be able to quickly catch up with Chicago at this rate. In the next match the club will face a difficult test, because the guys are going to Massachusetts, where they will face Boston.

Prediction

Anything can be expected from Boston, especially now that any victory is worth its weight in gold. Aime Udok's charges are trying to find stability, but even with an optimal line-up, they have not yet managed to improve the game. There is no doubt that the Celtics will fight to the last.

Cleveland are in excellent shape and show good basketball, so now the guests have everything to qualify for another victory. JB Bickerstaff's charges will try to take advantage of Al Horford's absence, especially since the Cavs look good in personal confrontations.

Our prediction is a handicap (+8.5) points for the Cleveland Cavaliers for a coefficient of 1.68 in BC 1xBet.

We assume that this match will be the highlight of the game day. Teams are aiming to win and if we also add the "Kavs" kit, then, most likely, there will be a spectacle on the floor.

Second bet is for the total over 206 points for 1.53.

Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.68.
