The Boston Celtics continue their march towards an 18th NBA Championship victory as they return home on Wednesday night. While Game 2 didn’t go their way in Boston, they returned the favor with back-to-back road victories. While Cleveland was never fully removed from the picture, it was mostly smooth sailing from Boston as their two stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown led the charge in both games. It was a clear gameplan from Boston to run on the break and keep the Cavaliers’ defense on their heels, looking for opportunities in transition or catch them with a man behind. It is a daunting prospect moving forward for the Cavs to recover down 3-1 in the series to the league’s best team, but no one expected this to be easy for them. Head Coach J.B. Bickerstaff and his crew will have to find ways to slow down Boston and get the matchups they like offensively.

Our Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

Boston’s title run, albeit shaky at times, feels inevitable. Cleveland does not possess the speed, switching ability, and shooting prowess to compete with Boston over a 7-game series. The Celtics will continue to run in transition and have a plethora of role players they can turn to if Brown and Tatum are shooting poorly. Boston recovered well after a Game 2 loss in their first round series to defeat Miami the next 3 games, covering on each occasion. Our Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction: Boston -14.5 (-110) at DraftKings.
