Cleveland Cavaliers Form
Cleveland go into this second game in Boston looking to bounce back from a defeat that ended their three-game win streak.
The Cavaliers dropped back-to-back home games in late November, losing 129-96 to Miami and 121-115 to the Los Angeles Lakers, but they rebounded quickly.
They beat Toronto 105-102 and Atlanta 128-105, but missed out on three consecutive wins as they were beaten 103-95 by Portland.
Cleveland did string together three straight after that though, sandwiching a 121-111 home win against Orlando with road victories in Detroit, 110-101, and Miami, 111-99.
The Cavaliers failed to make it four-in-a-row though, as they lost the first game of this double-header in Boston, 120-113.
Boston Celtics Form
Boston come into this game in great form, having won 12 of their last 15 games to reach 16-5.
The Celtics went on a six-game win streak in mid-November, which was finally ended by a 121-118 overtime defeat in Charlotte.
They rebounded to beat Milwaukee 119-116, only to then suffer a 113-96 defeat in Orlando.
Boston responded well to that defeat though, beating Atlanta 113-103, Chicago 124-97 and Philadelphia 125-119 at home.
The Celtics’ run was ended by a 122-112 defeat in Indiana, but they returned home after that and backed up a 133-123 win over New York with a 120-113 victory against Cleveland.
Verdict
Boston are the better team and have home court advantage, but Cleveland continue to cover when taking on the Celtics so we are taking the Cavaliers and plenty of points.
