The Boston Celtics and the San Antonio Spurs are set to battle it out at TD Garden in an NBA cross-conference clash. The Celtics are in second place in the Eastern Conference standings, while the Spurs are second in the Western Conference. Here's our match prediction.

The Boston Celtics have navigated 37 games so far in the NBA. They have won 24 and lost 13 of those matches. Their home and away records have been evenly matched with 12 wins apiece.

The Celtics come into this match high in spirits. Their recent outing against the Toronto Raptors ended in a 125-117 home victory. That result marked their fifth in six games.

Joe Mazzulla's men enter the second night of a back-to-back, aiming to make it two wins on the bounce. Considering their current form, that should be doable.

The San Antonio Spurs are the second-best team in the Western Conference. The visitors have won 26 of their last 37 matches (L11) and have impressed equally on their travels and at home.

After recording two consecutive defeats against the Blazers and the Grizzlies, the Spurs put an end to that losing streak with a recent 107-91 home victory against the Los Angeles Lakers.

In unfamiliar territory, their performance has met expectations. They have won four of their last five matches. Before their defeat to the Grizzlies, they were on a four-match winning streak.
