Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Boston Celtics Prediction
The Cleveland Cavaliers are enjoying a great run of form, and so are the Boston Celtics. However, the Cavaliers have struggled for decent results in this fixture, dropping two games. To make matters worse, they've lost their last two home games against this opponent.
The Boston Celtics are missing Nikola Vucevic and Jordan Walsh for this impending encounter. That shouldn't stop them from claiming a positive outcome, as they still have top performers at their disposal. Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Boston Celtics prediction: Boston Celtics wins.
