The Celtics assert their NBA supremacy with an impressive 48-12 record, riding an 11-game winning streak. Having secured victories in both matchups against the Cavaliers this season, the games, however, were held in Boston. Jayson Tatum leads the team with an average of 26.3 points and 10.5 rebounds in these encounters, while Jaylen Brown contributes 23.5 points and leads with 4.5 assists per game. Scoring an average of 118.5 points against the Cavaliers, the Celtics might face uncertainties with Kristaps Porzingis, who sat out Sunday’s game.

The Cavaliers, currently in third place in the Eastern Conference with a 39-21 record, are seeking redemption after a recent loss to the New York Knicks. In their previous matchups against the Celtics, Donovan Mitchell emerged as a key player with an impressive 30.0 points per game. Darius Garland follows with 22.5 points and leads the team with 5.0 rebounds. The Cavaliers average 110.0 points per game against the Celtics this season. However, Mitchell and Caris LeVert’s participation on Tuesday reмɑιns uncertain after missing Sunday’s game.
