The Boston Celtics are back to their winning ways with five wins in their last seven after a slow start to the season. Boston has a tough game ahead when they face the Cleveland Cavaliers next. It's definitely a winnable game for the Celtics, but if they lose, they shouldn't do so by too many points. Let's get into our match prediction.

Our bet is that the Boston Celtics enter this match with a +11.5 points spread and walk away as the winners. That's because when they lose, they tend to keep the scoreline close. What's even more interesting is the fact that Boston hasn't lost by more than 12 points to the Cavs in the regular season since 2018

And as for this season, only two of Boston’s nine losses have been by 12 or more points. The Celtics have also played the Cavaliers already, and they won by 20 points in that game.

It's also worth pointing out that the Cavs haven't won many games by 12+ points this season. Cleveland has tasted victory 12 times already, but seven of those wins were by less than 12 points.
