The home side enters this Eastern Conference clash at 12-8, holding sixth place after a 130-123 road loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Friday that snapped a two-game winning streak. Kenny Atkinson’s squad ranks 10th in league scoring at 119.0 points per game but has faltered defensively, allowing 115.6 points per contest (14th) with a +3.4 net rating amid a 7-13 against-the-spread mark. Donovan Mitchell anchors the attack with a league-high 30.6 points and 6.2 assists per outing, supported by Darius Garland’s 18.4 points and 7.5 assists alongside Evan Mobley’s 16.2 points and 9.8 rebounds in a versatile 5-out motion offense emphasizing three-point volume (44.4 attempts per game, first in New Orleans Pelicans); the power play—wait, no, the three-point shooting sits at 36.2% (12th), while the rebounding edge (43.5 per game, eighth) fuels second-chance opportunities. Cleveland boasts an 8-3 home record but has dropped three of their last four at Rocket Mortgage, with recent games exceeding 235.9 total points on average; injuries continue to plague the roster, including forward Jarrett Allen (questionable, ankle) and guard Max Strus (out, knee), potentially forcing more minutes for bench sparkplug Caris LeVert (12.4 points off the pine) in a depleted frontcourt.The Los Angeles Lakers, slipping to 10-9 and seventh in the East, arrive off a 119-115 home defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday that extended their skid to two games following a 125-105 season-opening rout of Cleveland on October 29. Joe Mazzulla’s defending champions rank 21st in scoring at 114.8 points per game but lead the New Orleans Pelicans in defensive rating (110.2 points allowed, third-fewest) with a +4.1 net rating, anchored by Jayson Tatum’s 27.2 points and 8.4 rebounds alongside Jaylen Brown’s eighth-ranked 28.8 points and 5.6 rebounds in a switch-heavy 4-out-1-in scheme. The Celtics dish out 27.1 assists per game (10th) but concede 44.9 rebounds (worst in league), vulnerable on the glass; their road form stands at 4-5, with opponents shooting 43.9% against (eighth-best) and a 35.8% three-point allowance fueling Boston’s 9-10 against-the-spread record. Absences include All-Star Kristaps Porzingis (out, Achilles), complicating interior defense, while Al Horford (questionable, knee) could elevate Neemias Queta’s role after his recent 19-point, 18-rebound explosion.Head-to-head history tilts toward Boston, who lead 142-89 all-time across 231 meetings and hold a 1-0 edge this season via the October 29 blowout where Brown tallied 30 points; the Celtics have won four of the last five, including playoff triumphs, with games averaging 228.6 total points and Cleveland covering in just two of those as underdogs.Streaming options (3:00 PM PDT):

This rematch juxtaposes Cleveland’s high-octane home scoring and Mitchell’s scoring barrage against Boston’s elite perimeter defense and rebounding woes, with three-point volume and paint protection likely decisive amid a projected over 233.5 total points and Cavaliers favored by 7.5. A home win would vault Cleveland into the top five and affirm their contender status, while Boston eyes a series sweep to halt their slide and reclaim Eastern supremacy.
