It’s Tuesday, February 4, and the top teams in the Eastern Conference meet in Cleveland as the Celtics (35-15) visit the Cavaliers (40-9).
Cleveland has won just six of their last ten but still holds a 5.5 game lead over Boston. The Celtics have won four of their last five. While they play with their food against lesser opponents, Boston usually shows up when faced with the rare regular season challenge. The Cavs take the court looking to win their fifth in a row after stumbling through much of January. They beat the Mavs at home Sunday by 43.
The Celtics are currently 19-6 on the road with a point differential of +9, while the Cavaliers have an 8-2 record in their last ten games at home.
