Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavaliers: Current situation
February has mostly been smooth sailing for the defending champions who have won 8 of their last 10 games. They just had a 6-game win streak snapped at the hands of the Detroit Pistons in what was a unexpected road loss. Jaylen Brown did not play in that game, so we shouldn’t put too much into that outcome.
March is just around the corner and the Cleveland Cavaliers are showing no signs of slowing down. They just won their 48th game, while accumulating just 10 losses this season. A potential win on Friday would likely wrap up the number one seed in the East as then the Celtics would have to overcome a massive 7.5 game deficit with just 23 games left.
Boston Celtics Stats & Form
Jayson Tatum, Derrick White and Payton Pritchard were the only three players that passed the test on Wednesday, scoring 27, 18 and 18 points. The rest of the Celtics failed miserably as they scored just 97 points total as a team, while shooting just 41% from the field against a Pistons team they had beaten in all 3 meetings prior. Despite the loss though, Boston is still 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games, while winning 6 of them.
Cleveland Cavaliers Stats & Form
During this 8 game win streak, the Cavaliers have been able to win 6 games on the road which should give them added confidence going into Friday’s game. They just took down the Orlando Magic in Florida, holding them to just 82 points total. None of the starters played more than 28 minutes as the game was pretty much over by half time, that should give the Cavs enough rest ahead of Friday’s big game.
Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavaliers: Head-to-Head
All 3 meetings this season were decided by single digits, with the Celtics winning 2 of them. As a result they are now 7-3 SU in the last 10 meetings, however backing Cleveland has yielded more profit in 6 of those games. It is worth pointing out that the Cavaliers have won only twice I their last 14 visits to Boston.

Betting tip and prediction: Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavaliers (28.02.2025)
Losing that game to Detroit was a huge blow to the confidence of the Celtics, but like most champions do we are expecting a big time response from them in Friday’s game. Jaylen Brown is expected back in the line-up following a minor thigh issue, that should be a huge boost defensively for the Cs who have held the Cavaliers to just 105 points in the last meeting between the two teams. This time around we feel like the scoring will go up a notch for both teams, Cleveland is just in too good of form to score under their season average. Over the past 10 games played these are the 1st and 5th ranked offenses scoring 125.2 and 119.3 points per 100 possessions. Both are also capable three-point shooting teams, ranking 1st and 10th in efficiency. The game played at TD Garden between the two teams earlier this season saw 237 points scored between the two teams, that might be an indicator of what’s to come in Friday’s game. Boston has cashed on the over 15 times in 28 home games this season, while the Cavaliers have done so in 18 of 27 road games. Looking at more recent games the over has been a profitable bet in 5 of 7 Cavs games, so we believe backing the points is the best way to approach this game.
