Boston Celtics Form

Boston head to Cleveland in good form, having won six of their last eight games and each of the previous three.

The Celtics rebounded from a surprise overtime defeat at home to Atlanta with a 125-85 demolition of Golden State on the road.

They backed that up with a 117-113 overtime victory at the LA Clippers, only to then suffer a 117-96 defeat at the Los Angeles Lakers.

Boston bounced back with a 122-107 victory in Dallas, before rebounding from a 114-112 loss to Houston with three consecutive wins.

The Celtics downed Chicago 122-100 at home, and then went out on the road to take down New Orleans, 118-116, and Philadelphia, 118-110.

Cleveland Cavaliers Form

Cleveland enter this matchup having reeled off four consecutive blowout wins to get back on track.

The Cavaliers cooled off in late January as they lost three straight, starting with road defeats to Houston, 109-108, and Philadelphia, 132-129.

They then lost 135-131 at home to Houston, but have responded emphatically with this run of victories.

Cleveland downed Detroit 110-91 at home and Miami 126-106 on the road, before returning home to beat Atlanta 137-115.

The Cavaliers then made it four-in-a-row on Sunday night as they crushed a Dallas team that just traded Luka Doncic, 144-101.

Verdict

BOS Celtics @ CLE Cavaliers

You could make a case for either team here, but we are leaning towards Cleveland.

The Cavaliers have momentum on their side and have a healthy knack for covering when they go head-to-head with the Celtics.
