Cleveland Cavaliers Form

Cleveland go into this game against the defending NBA champions boasting the league’s only unbeaten record at 15-0.

The Cavaliers went 3-0 over the course of last week as they kept their perfect record intact and made a winning start to the NBA Cup.

They went out on the road for meetings with Chicago and Philadelphia, and registered deserved wins on both occasions.

Cleveland beat the Bulls 119-113 to start the week, and 48 hours later they took down the 76ers, 114-105.

The Cavaliers then began their NBA Cup campaign with a 144-126 victory over the Bulls, before taking their regular season record to 15-0 with a 128-114 win over Charlotte last night.

Boston Celtics Form

Boston go into this matchup having rebounded from an NBA Cup loss with back-to-back wins to improve to 11-3.

The Celtics opened the season with a four-game win streak, and despite a handful of defeats along the way they have made a strong start.

One of those losses came last Tuesday as they opened their NBA Cup campaign with a surprise 117-116 home defeat to Boston.

Boston bounced back 24 hours later however, as they went out on the road to beat the Nets in Brooklyn, 139-114.

The Celtics then made it back-to-back victories on Saturday night as they battled past Toronto in overtime, 126-123.

Verdict

Both teams are off to strong starts and Boston are capable of ending Cleveland's unbeaten run.

However, the Cavaliers are covering consistently this season while the Celtics have been an unreliable spread bet at home, so give us the unbeaten Cavs and the free points.
