Boston

The Celtics are currently the main challenger to Cleveland in the Eastern Conference standings. Joe Mazzulla's team has only failed three out of 14 games. Orlando, currently in third place, has already lost six games.

Boston played their last match at home and only managed to beat one of the main outsiders of this season, Toronto, 126-123 (114-114) in overtime. Jaylen Brown scored 27 points, and Jayson Tatum was just one assist away from a triple-double – 24 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists.

Cleveland

The Cavaliers have played two home games in a row before traveling to Boston. First, Kenny Atkinson's team beat Chicago 144-126 in a really efficient game, and then they easily beat Charlotte 128-114.

Overall, Cleveland has had 15 consecutive wins since the start of the championship. The Cavs have already broken the record for the longest starting winning streak, and to break the club record for the longest winning streak, they just need to win five more times. That would bring their total to 19 in a row, which they achieved in the 2009/10 season.
