Game Preview
Cleveland heads to Boston on Tuesday, aiming to stay perfect as the Celtics look to hand the Cavaliers their first loss of the season in an NBA Cup showdown.
This rematch of last year’s playoff series, which Boston dominated, adds an extra layer of intrigue as Cleveland seeks redemption. The Cavs are off to a historic 15-0 start, becoming just the fourth team in NBA history to achieve such a record. They’ll look to extend that streak and build momentum, especially with All-Star Donovan Mitchell likely back in action after resting Sunday.
Boston, on the other hand, is eager to bounce back after a narrow loss in its NBA Cup opener to Atlanta. The Celtics’ defense, particularly in the paint, has been a concern, as they allowed a season-high 76 points inside in a recent overtime win against Toronto. Coach Joe Mazzulla emphasized the need for better individual defense and rebounding ahead of this critical clash.
Cleveland’s league-best scoring average of 123.7 points per game will put Boston’s defensive adjustments to the test. The Celtics, bolstered by the expected return of Jrue Holiday, aim to use their home-court advantage and a strong supporting cast to break Cleveland’s streak.
With both teams motivated and playoff implications lingering, this game offers plenty of betting intrigue. The Cavaliers, with momentum on their side, are a tempting underdog, while Boston’s depth and home record make them a favorite for the win. Expect a close and highly competitive matchup that could swing either way.
