Game Preview
On Tuesday, the Boston Celtics (16-5) and Cleveland Cavaliers (13-10) square off.
The Boston Celtics play just two opponents in their next four games, all of which are at home. They play two more games against Orlando and then two more against Cleveland. Starting with their first game on Tuesday, the Celtics are eager to go 4-0 versus their more vulnerable opponents in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics defeated the Knicks by a score of 10 points and have now won 4 of their previous 5 games. Every Boston starter in the match against New York scored a minimum of 16 points, and they prevailed thanks in large part to a 30-point performance from Derrick White. With 27.5 points per game and 8.7 rebounds per game, seven-year player Jayson Tatum leads Boston in both categories. Tatum has appeared in all 460 of his NBA games. In the past 9 matches, he has scored 20 points or more, including a 45-point performance against Charlotte. The next player to score is Jaylen Brown, an athletic wing who contributes 22 points a game while leading the club in steals with 1.2 per contest.
The Cleveland Cavaliers, who are sixth within the Eastern Conference right now, want to maintain the momentum they’ve garnered from their recent winning streak. The Cavaliers were the favorites in each of the previous 6 matches and prevailed in 5 of them. They have won 3 consecutive games since that contest, with their lone loss coming against Portland. With 35 points versus Orlando and 27 versus Miami in their last two games, Donovan Mitchell leads the club in scoring. He appears to be performing well lately. The Cavaliers and Celtics will play two games back-to-back in Boston, beginning with this one. Donovan Mitchell leads Cleveland in scoring with 27.6 points per night. With 1.9 steals per match, he is also their top perimeter defender. As an all-around player, Mitchell provides 5.9 boards per contest and 5.3 assists per game. With 3 made threes per match, he leads the team in shooting efficiency.
