The Champion Celtics are all set to play against the undefeated Cavaliers in the game of the NBA Cup.
Cleveland plays the Boston celtics on Tuesday and the Boston Celtics, in winning their championship this year, want to be the first team to defeat the Cavs this season.
A repeat of last season’s easy playoff series win by the Celtics, this is the second game of the NBA Cup for teams. Cavs All-Star Donovan Mitchell sat this one out as he was hurt and therefore had to cheer from the sidelines.
Cleveland coach Kenny Atkinson said, “It is great for the NBA. Everyone will watch, and our players feel good. They remember what happened last year. We’re working well, and they are, too. That works well for the league and us. We are contented with this.”
The Cavaliers, on Sunday, won their 15th straight to start the NBA season by defeating Charlotte 128-114. Cavaliers became only the fourth team in history to do so.
That’s the only NBA teams’ record for starting a season with 15 wins and no losses- Golden State Warriors, 2015-16; Houston Rockets, 1993-94; and Washington Capitols, 1948-49.
The Warriors’ 2015-16 win streak stood at 16 games. However, they start the season at 24 and 0 before losing their first.
Boston Celtics vs. Cavaliers Predictions for Tuesday
I like the Cavaliers vs. Celtics matchup at BetMGM. I believe Boston wins, and their Moneyline at -185 is a good price. Given the Moneyline is now above -170, I would also include adding a player prop bet to this bet:
The Cavs’ perfect season finishes on Tuesday. After dropping to the Hawks, this game must turn into a must-win for the Celtics.
In the wins against the Brooklyn Nets and Toronto Raptors since last week’s loss to Atlanta, Boston has won. Jayson Tatum made a three-pointer that won for Boston against Toronto.
Cleveland has won its last few games, but it hasn’t played a tough team since it last beat the Golden State Warriors on November 8. Donovan Mitchell rested during the victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday.
- Moneyline Pick: Cavaliers (+161)
- Total Pick: Over 232.5
- Pick ATS: Cavaliers (+4.5)
