Cleveland Cavaliers vs Boston Celtics Tips:
The Boston Celtics have certainly looked good in recent games, but the Celtics could surprise again. Their play does not inspire confidence. It’s too early to say that Udoka’s men are stable. Winning a few games does not mean anything.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are the kind of opponent that can stop the Boston Celtics. The Cavaliers’ slow play has the potential to stump Tatum and his teammates.
