Game Preview

Boston is on fire. The Celtics won the last seven games and are second in the East, with a tendency to reach the top of the conference. Their offense is on fire, with 121.2 points per game this year. Jayson Tatum leads the way with 28.4 buckets each night.

This unit’s previous triumph was against the Chicago Bulls this Friday night, 138-129, on the road. Tatum scored 35 points, and the fantastic Payton Pritchard added 29 off the bench.

Cleveland Cavaliers scored 122.4 points per game and are the No.1 offense in the NBA. However, over the past three events, that number dropped to 115.7, so it’s no wonder they lost two games in a row.

Both were against the Atlanta Hawks, one at home and the more recent on the road, 117-101, with them being behind throughout the entire event. Donovan Mitchell scored only 12 points, while Darius Garland had 29.
