Celtics vs Cavaliers Preview

The Boston Celtics are favored for Friday’s matchup between the top two seeds in the Eastern Conference but should the hosts win at TD Garden, they would still remain five wins behind the current leaders.

Boston was upset by the Detroit Pistons last time out, but without Jaylen Brown and against one of the most in form teams in the league, they can be excused for the defeat.

Brown is still questionable to play on Friday with a thigh strain and the availability of last year’s Finals MVP as well as Jrue Holiday could be the key to winning at TD Garden.

The Garden hasn’t been the same fortress as old this season for the Celtics and they will be keen to improve on a disappointing 18-10 record at home this week.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will be full of confidence coming into Friday’s game, with no players on the injury report as Darius Garland is expected to make his return to action.

Garland has missed the past two games with a hip injury, but the Cavs were still able to thrive without their All-Star guard as they extended their win streak to 8 games.

Cleveland’s last loss actually came to Boston, with the Celtics just one of four teams to have won at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse this season.
