The Milwaukee Bucks are showing no signs of slowing down, so it will be up to the Boston Celtics to get back to winning ways if they want to retain the number 1 seed in the East. In their way standing are the Cleveland Cavaliers, a team that's beaten them already twice this season. Tip-off is scheduled for 7.30 pm on ESPN, I've prepared a Same Game Parlay to spice things up a little.

Boston Celtics 1 – 10 Win Margin (+170)
We witnessed a couple of really close games between these two teams already this season and I have a feeling tonight's will be very similar. Both of those games went into Overtime and finished with Cavs victories by 9 and 1 point. Now it's time for the Celtics to get revenge for those defeats, they are no longer the 1st seed in the East after Milwaukee's 15th win in a row last night. Boston has the edge in head-to-head meetings at TD Garden winning 6 of the last 7, they are also on a run of 13 wins and just 2 losses at home in their last 15 overall. Jaylen Brown is expected to return to the line-up after missing the game vs New York, the Celtics are 35-15 SU when he plays. I haven't been impressed with the Cavs since the all-star break, they got beat by Denver at home and lost by 17 on the road against a fairly average Atlanta side. Expect a close game here, but ultimately the Celtics pull one out in front of the home fans.
