Later today two NBA contenders in the eastern conference are getting ready to battle as the Boston Celtics host the Cleveland Cavaliers. It will be the third matchup between the two teams and the Cavaliers are leading the season series two games to none after winning both games in overtime. Both teams have won seven of their last 10 games.

Caesars Sportsbook offers you up to $1,250 for any of your Cavaliers vs. Celtics predictions when you and use the promo code MLIVEFULL and bet on this game.

The Cavaliers are coming off a big win against the Toronto Raptors ending their three-game losing streak. All season long, Cleveland has been one of the best defensive teams in the NBA. They’ve allowed opponents to score 106.5 points per game against them which is the fewest amount of points per game in the league. They are very good at slowing down the pace of play and have played Boston very well this year.

Let’s not discredit the Celtics because they’ve had an excellent season as well and have been a top-two team in the east all season. The Celtics offense has scored the most points per game of any team in the conference and they should be getting Jaylen Brown back for this game after he was inactive for Boston’s last game.

Jayson Tatum has been playing on an MVP level and has been a hard guy to limit throughout the season. If you know who is going to win this game between these two playoff-bound teams, make one of your Cavaliers vs. Celtics predictions by betting on Caesars.

Just by signing up and joining Caesars and plugging in the MLIVEFULL promo code, you can place your wager on this game and Caesars will refund your bet of up to $1,250 if it doesn’t hit.

Caesars Sportsbook offers a variety of different Cavaliers vs. Celtics predictions that you can use your risk-free bet of up to $1,250 on. You can bet on the spread, game total and player props for this contest. We haven’t seen these two teams face each other in a long time.

Both of the previous games between them were at the beginning of the year. After seeing how close both games were, and that the Cavaliers are the fifth-best shooting team in the NBA, you can place your bet on Cavaliers +5 by signing up on Caesars Sportsbook. Use the promo code MLIVEFULL at sign up and even if the Celtics cover the spread and win by 7 points or more, Caesars will refund your bet as long as it doesn’t exceed $1,250.

The Cavaliers scoring is led by Donovan Mitchell who they acquired last offseason. Mitchell is scoring over 27 points per game and is shooting nearly 48 percent from the field this season. Mitchell scored 41 points in the first matchup of the season series between the Cavaliers and Celtics. Cavs center Jarrett Allen has produced two double-doubles against Boston and even with Celtics center Robert Williams active for this game, it’ll be very hard for him to contain both Allen and Evan Mobley in the post.

Celtics guard Marcus Smart has been one the best defensive point guards for the last few years but got roasted by Cavs guard Darius Garland in their last game. Garland dropped 29 points and dished 12 assists. The Cavaliers have a lot depth and their stellar defense makes Cavaliers +6.5 a good bet to place today on Caesars Sportsbook, especially after we saw both games between these 2 teams go to overtime.
