Hi steemates!
Today play both teams which I monitor. Washington and Boston play the games, but I will take a match of Boston today. They meet very serious rival and one of the main rivals of "Celtics" in the Eastern Conference. Cleveland Cavaliers goes on 3 positions now, and Boston heads the table.

Boston Celtics was again gathered by the course and continues to hold the first line in the east. "Cleveland Cavaliers" sets the task to catch up with Celtics, but you shouldn't forget about "reptiles" which prevent "cavalrymen" to come to the second place.

Boston Celtics

Brad Stephens's wards have held three good meetings where they have managed to beat "Charlotte Hornets" (91-102), "Houston Rockets" (99-98) and Brooklyn Nets (108-105). The team has endured small recession and has started over again showing good basketball, but a next game special as "the Boston Celtics" can't beat "cavalrymen" already during three matches. It is unlikely in this duel will risk Boston Celtics, everything suits them as they head the Eastern Conference.

Cleveland Cavaliers

Tyrone Lew's wards have beaten tonight "Portland Trail Blazzers" with the score (127-110). "Blazzers" battled till the end, but Lebron James, Lav and Thomas have made everything to interrupt a series of defeats which has dragged on on three matches. Players "Cleveland Cavaliers" understand that defeat in this match will strongly affect their chances to head the Eastern Conference, "Celtics" and "reptiles" have already not bad come off. "Cavalrymen" need to be prepared and pay well attention to a match ending as in two last quarters the rival begins to put pressure aggressively.

Statistics and personal meetings

On home victories of Boston Celtics hold the third place in the Eastern Conference.
"Cleveland Cavaliers" have lost four previous away matches.
For 10 last meetings which teams had held among themselves "Celtics" managed to win against only two times.
With this duel "cavalrymen" won't be helped by Derrick Rose and Iman Shampert.

Of course, the statistics of personal matches presses on players of Boston Celtics, but what it matters when they are in the lead. For "Cleveland Cavaliers" it is good chance to reduce backlog to "Celtics" therefore the motivation at them will read off scale.
