Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Boston Celtics Game 2 Prediction
The Celtics came into this series as a -1800 favorite.
The most likely betting result is for the Celtics to sweep this series.
Game 1 was not competitive from start to finish.
There is little doubt that the Celtics will reach the Eastern Conference Finals and face either the New York Knicks or the Indiana Pacers.
The Cavs won their first playoff series since LeBron James left the team when they took down the Orlando Magic in seven games.
The unfortunate prize for the Cavs was to face the NBA's best team.
The Cavs will attempt to pull off one of the biggest series of upsets in a long time.
Donovan Mitchell has been the star of the Cavs. Mitchell leads the team with 29.2 points per game in the playoffs.
Big man Jarrett Allen is expected to return tonight. Allen has missed the last four games and is averaging 17.0 points and 13.8 rebounds per game in the postseason.
Darius Garland has added 15.4 points and a team-high 5.4 assists through eight games.
Jaylen Brown leads the Celtics with 24.3 points per game.
Derrick White has been a surprise star in the playoffs. White has added 22.8 points per game and 3.5 assists.
