Donovan Mitchell will attempt an encore performance against Boston.

This was the only time this season a Cavalier opponent attempted more than [32% of their shots](https://cleaningtheglass.com/stats/team/6/gamelogs#tab-shooting_defense_freq) from beyond the arc. [Garland is expected](https://www.fearthesword.com/2022/11/2/23437404/cleveland-cavaliers-guard-darius-garland-returning-to-rotation-per-report) to make his long awaited return to the lineup tonight. [85.7%](https://cleaningtheglass.com/stats/team/6/gamelogs#tab-shooting_offense_freq) of their attempts in the restricted area on Friday night which led to 48 points in the paint. The Cavs have gotten off to a fast start without him. The Celtics will try their best to keep Mitchell from getting looks behind the arc and at the rim. Boston is the third best three-point shooting team this season (39.9%). The Cavs didn’t do a great job on Friday of generating looks at either place compared to their season averages, but they did convert the opportunities they had while getting to the line for 34 free-throw attempts. The Cavs’ defense is based on running opponents off the three-point line and funneling them to their bigs. Similarly, the overtime win on Friday felt like a statement that the Cavs want to be viewed as contenders this season. That said, they still do a good job of taking away three-point opportunities ( That win last season felt like an announcement that the Cavs weren’t going to be the perennial doormats they had been in previous seasons. Boston got their revenge two nights later with a 98-92 win while holding the Cavs to just 38.6% shooting from the floor.

The Cleveland Cavaliers host the Boston Celtics tonight. What's the betting line, who is playing and what should you expect from the Cavs this evening?

If Garland is out, the Cavs will feel the strain with Raul Neto also unlikely to play and Ricky Rubio sidelined for another couple of months. The game will tip off at 7:30pm ET on ESPN and ESPN+. If not, look for both LeVert and Wade to continue to start at the 2 and the 3. Friday’s game is the swing factor in their records, with the Cavs on a four-game winning streak at 4-1 and the Celtics sitting at 3-2. The swing factor for Cleveland is Darius Garland’s availability, and whether he will be shaking off any rust. The two teams both played on Sunday and have had a few days off since, so both should be full of energy and ready to go.

Celtics vs Cavaliers Picks and Predictions: Horford Look His Age in ... (Covers.com)

NBA odds, picks, and predictions for the Boston Celtics at Cleveland Cavaliers on November 2. NBA betting best bet and free pick analysis.

There’s a lot of noise in such statistics early in the year, but there’s also something to be said about the giant Robert Williams-shaped hole in the Celtics’ frontcourt rotation. While the Cavaliers regularly lean into the midrange, the Celtics have excised almost all such shots in favor of the long ball. That’s a serious mark of respect for a Cleveland Cavaliers team that has been playing very solid ball to begin the year. The difference in team quality to date then is all about the other side of the ball. Horford has never been a free throw magnet, but just battling on the boards and winning the war of position inside should have earned him a few trips to the line at this point of the season. It’s all the way in the Bottom 10 of defensive rating. Horford will still have nights where he’s a difference-maker on the court, but at this point, one should expect them to be few and far between. His renaissance last season was a delight to watch, and I’m still dizzy from some of his shooting performances in the playoffs that nearly won Boston the whole damn thing. They’re in for a dogfight if they want to stretch that streak to six, as the Celtics have been dynamite on offense. Cavaliers hone in on the slow start for Boston big man Al Horford, and whether we might be witnessing the beginning of the end of his laudable career. He played at a championship caliber last season and the Celtics don’t make the Finals without him. The Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers played an absolute barn-burner just this past Friday and Boston is now looking for revenge after Cleveland came away the 132-123 OT winner.

Boston Celtics drop another close game against Cleveland ... (CelticsBlog)

The Celtics had an opportunity for payback against the Cavaliers, but in the end, the result was the same as it was before.

After an open dunk by Allen, Tatum and Brown converted on consecutive baskets to draw the Celtics back within one point with less than a minute to play, 114-113. The Cavaliers went nearly six minutes without recording a made field goal, and the Celtics were able to reestablish control of the game in the process. Cleveland pushed ahead with a 5-2 advantage in the early minutes of the overtime period, as the Celtics struggled to find an offensive rhythm — including a Tatum bucket that was wiped away by an obvious travel. The momentum shifted towards the Cavaliers in a hurry, and a 33-20 quarter for Cleveland left the Celtics down seven points as the game entered its final quarter. The third quarter was a Jekyll-and-Hyde situation for the Celtics, who looked comfortable and assertive in the opening minutes before giving way to a Cavalier surge as the quarter pressed on. But despite the change of venue, the result looked quite similar, as the Celtics once again dropped a tightly contested game in overtime against this Cavaliers roster.

But the shot, well-contested by Dean Wade, didn't go down, securing a 114-113 win for the Cavs in an overtime thriller. He went into the break with nine points, including two after Brown broke up a pass intended for Mitchell, leading to a transition jam for Tatum. Tatum came from the backcourt, gathered a bounce pass from Smart, and had plenty of space to continue building momentum as he went into the paint without worrying about a defender going for the strip. While a bit worse for wear, he stayed in the game. More importantly, it might get the Celtics' star in rhythm on a night he's shooting 4/14, including 2/7 from beyond the arc. He also set Jarrett Allen up for a dunk and found Donovan Mitchell for a three to give Cleveland a 16-11 advantage at the 6:53 mark. Those stops fueled Boston's offense, propelling the visitors to 45 percent shooting from the field, inflicting most of their damage at the rim. When he untangled himself, he stayed out of bounds on the baseline, watching the rest of the play unfold. They then rallied in the fourth quarter to force overtime after Jayson Tatum posterized Jarrett Allen, tying the game with less than seven seconds left.
