Cleveland Cavaliers vs Boston Celtics Prediction
A spirited fight by the Cleveland Cavaliers saw them beat the Boston Celtics 118-94 in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference playoffs semi-finals. The series is now tied at 1-1 as we move to Cleveland for Game 3. The Boston Celtics had been favorites to win game 2 and the series as a whole, but were quite underwhelming in the end.
The all-round performance by the Cleveland Cavaliers in game 2 saw every starting player score double-digits, in addition to Caris LeVert’s 21 points off the bench. Donovan Mitchell led the scoring for the Cavaliers again, but the input from his teammates was crucial in securing victory in game 2, something they had lacked in game 1 despite Mitchell scoring 33 points in that game. For the Celtics, the absence of Kristaps Porzingis was evident, as the team struggled with rebounds and 3-point shooting.
Game 3 promises to to be an exciting encounter with both teams having a good chance of winning it. Cleveland will look to take home advantage and the momentum from the game 2 win. On the other hand, Boston are expected to bounce back with a more serious approach. Overall, the Celtics still got lots of quality and can be unstoppable when they bring their A-game. For our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Boston Celtic prediction, we pick Handicap -6.5 Boston Celtics Win.
