The Boston Celtics come into Cleveland on four-game losing streak and in desperate need of a win over a far inferior opponent, while the Cavs may be hoping to drop this one in order to up their status in the Zion sweepstakes.
Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavaliers might interested in dropping this game on their home floor, as the Bulls are only 2 games ahead (or behind) of the Cavs in the Zion sweepstakes. The Cavs currently hold the 3rd worst record in the NBA and will want to stay in the bottom 3 with the new draft lottery rules taking effect this year. The new rule changes give the 3 worst teams in the NBA a 14% chance of landing the top pick in this years NBA draft.

The Cavaliers fell to the Celtics 103-96 on their home floor the last time these two met. The #8 pick in the 2018 draft, Colin Sexton, had himself a night, dropping 27 points on 11-24 shooting from the field. It’s been a big March for Sexton, who has been averaging 22.3 points for the month.
Something Cavs fans love to see from a guy they knew had potential when they drafted him. He’s sure to get plenty of burn in this one as the team will be without “3 and D” specialist Matthew Dellavedova tonight as he continues to deal with concussion-like symptoms.

While the Celtics are having their problems, the Cavs have been abysmal all season. They’re 0-3 vs the Celtics this season, losing by an average margin of 19.4 points per game.
Boston Celtics
A loss here for the Celtics will certainly put this team in a dark place in what has been a rather dark season so far. The Celtics find themselves in 5th place in the East after coming into the season as the favorites to win the conference.
The Celtics defense has been abysmal over the course of their last 5 games, allowing opponents to score 118.2 points per game on 45.7% shooting from the field. Those aren’t the type of numbers any coach or GM wants to see with their team heading into the playoffs.

The Celtics latest loss came to the Spurs at home, where the team failed to eclipse the 100 point plateau as Kyrie Irving shot 5-17 from the field and scored just 11 points.
The defense, that has been on a pitiful stretch run, allowed the Spurs to shoot 51% and watched LaMarcus Aldridge pour in a whopping 48 points on 20-31 shooting.
With no Kyrie Irving in the lineup Tuesday night, the Celtics are going to need to clamp down on the defensive end and show they have what it takes to make a run in the playoffs.

Free Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Boston Celtics NBA Prediction:
This almost feels like a must-win game Boston as they look to avoid dropping 5 in a row as well as avoid the negative press that would come with losing to a bottom 3 squad during the midst of turmoil.
If Tatum ends up playing (questionable right now) look for him to step up and lead the way in what should be a blowout game against an unmotivated opponent.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Celtics ATS
Look for the Celtics to take advantage of a “get right” game on the road and avoid dropping their 5th straight.
