Boston shouldn’t have trouble at home against the Cavs having won the last three straight against them at TD Garden. Boston easily disposed of the undermanned Heat in the first round whilst Cleveland had to go to 7 games to get past the Magic.
Boston’s shooting prowess, especially from distance is going to be a factor not only in this game but in this series as a whole. The Cavs have had difficulty keeping their opponents to a low Shooting % from 3 point land this season and Boston are the best team in the league at making the 3.
In the 4 wins the Celtics had over Miami they got out to early leads, expect the same in this one as Boston try to stamp their mark on this series.
- Boston average a 12.3 point 1st Quarter margin in their last 3 games
- Cleveland rank 15th in the league in Opposition 1st Quarter Points over their last 3 games
- The Celtics are 1st in the NBA in 3pts Attempted and 3pts Made
- Boston are also 2nd in the league in 3pt% averaging 38.8% per game

Cleveland Cavaliers Form
Cleveland needed all 7 games to reach the series victory over Orlando in the first round. It was ultimately the home court advantage that held out for the Cavs as they were totally outplayed on the Magic home court allowing an average of 112pts in their road games.
The Cavaliers though were the 4th best Defensive team on the road through the regular season allowing only 109.9 pts per game to their opposition, the question will be whether they can return to that form in this series against the NBA’s top seed.
Cleveland Cavaliers Team News
Jarret Allen missed the last three games of the first round but is listed as questionable as he tries to return from a rib contusion.
Boston Celtics Form
Boston had a gentleman's sweep against the Heat in sweet revenge from last year's Conference Finals where it was the Heat that eliminated the Celtics.
The Green Machine were clinical in their attack with their league leading shooting continuing in through the play-offs. They were also devastating in defence and held the Heat to under 90 points in the last 3 games straight sealing the first round win.

Kristaps Porzingas is still out but could be back in this round if the Celtics aren’t bundled out in 4.

Verdict
