By Joe Dellera

We have a clash between Eastern Conference titans with the Cavaliers and Celtics looking to be in a class of their own as they vie for the right to the 1-seed and to represent the Eastern Conference in the NBA Finals.

One player who always takes a step up in this matchup is Donovan Mitchell.

Mitchell has absolutely cooked the Celtics in recent head-to-head battles. He has scored 29+ points in 10 straight games against them, and has cleared this mark in 13/14 games against the Celtics since 2021.

Mitchell knows his play needs to be elevated given how tough the rest of the matchups are for his teammates, and he thrives in these spots.

Mitchell is someone that always has monster potential, but this season he has taken a little bit of a step back to allow his teammates to flourish. This game won’t have that same scenario.

I’ll back Mitchell tonight.

Pick: Donovan Mitchell Over 27.5 Points (-110)

By Bryan Fonseca

Ja Morant has gone over this line in five of his last eight outings.

More importantly, this reads as a solid matchup play for the speedy point guard.

The Knicks are struggling mightily since returning from All-Star Weekend. The defense has dropped to 22nd, and a big part of that is how increasingly easy it has become to drive on this team.

If Morant is gonna do one thing, he is going to get into the lane.

Jalen Brunson isn’t a defensive stopper, Mikal Bridges has been less than advertised, OG Anunoby as well (to some degree), and Karl-Anthony Towns isn’t an anchor.

Tyrese Maxey was destroying the Knicks defense in the second half of last time out, and for Morant, the number is only at 21.5 because of his shooting efficiency (or lack thereof), but he should get to his traditional layups, floaters and free throws against this soft defense, and ideally, maybe hit a couple from deep.

Pick: Ja Morant Over 22.5 Points (-120)

By Kyle Murray

This is a big number for Cade Cunningham, but he has more than earned it, as he has been phenomenal this season.

Even with this lofty Points + Rebounds + Assists (PRA) line, he still projects incredibly, as I have him for north of 47 PRA thanks to a projection of 29.8 points, 11.6 assists, and 6 rebounds.

He gets a great matchup against the Nuggets tonight, who have allowed the 8th-most points per game and the most assists per game this season, and they are also on the second half of a back-to-back.

Pick: Cade Cunningham Over 42.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-115)

By Alex Hinton

After reaching the pinnacle of winning the NBA Finals, it is not unusual for defending champions to sleepwalk through the regular season at times the following year. The Celtics have been no exception to that, but they still enter tonight’s matchup at 42-17. However, when they have an opportunity to make a statement, they have done so.

The Knicks roster was “designed to take down the Celtics,” yet the Celtics have blasted them in all three meetings, including twice in the last three weeks. They are also 3-0 against the Bucks and have wins against the Grizzlies and Nuggets among others. Overall, the Celtics are 20-11 against teams above .500 this season.

Tonight, Boston has an opportunity for another statement victory against Cleveland. The Celtics defeated the Cavaliers in five games in last year’s Eastern Conference Semifinals. They also have won four of the last six regular season meetings with wins by three and eight points this season. will also be looking to bounce back from a 20-point loss to the Pistons.

While Cleveland has been the better against the spread this season, Boston has mainly struggled to cover large spreads. It will also be looking to bounce back from a 20-point loss to the Pistons. After an loss, Boston is 13-3 ATS and covering by an average of 10.1 points.

At -2.5, I feel very comfortable backing the Celtics tonight and would play this line up to -4.

Pick: Celtics -2.5 (-110)

By Bruce Marshall

Word from Brooklyn is that top scorer Cam Thomas might make his first appearance in over a month tonight against the Blazers, though I worry that might upset some of the recent competitive chemistry with the Nets.

Jordi Fernandez was able to squeeze several wins out of Brooklyn earlier this month, as the non-Cam Nets learned to play slower and control the tempo.

Results were generally good but now Jordi has to fit Thomas back into the mix, and the measured pace that worked well for the Nets earlier this month might not function the same with a scorer like Thomas back in the fold.

I remain impressed with the Blazers, whose only losses the past month have come against serious playoff contenders (Minnesota, Denver twice, and the Lakers). Play Blazers

Pick: Blazers -1.5 (-110)

By Jorge Gonzalez

The Chicago Bulls have a record of 1-4 in their last five games, but have covered the spread in four consecutive matchups.

Since the All-Star break, the Bulls have lost three games by a combined total of just 11 points.

Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors have struggled on the road this season, holding a disappointing record of 5-22. In their recent 111-91 loss to the Pacers, the Raptors were missing Scottie Barnes.

Given the Bulls’ strong offensive performance, they are likely to take an early lead against the Raptors and secure the win.

By Kyle Murray

Yves Missi came through for us last night with the over on his rebounds prop, and he also had a double-double.

However, I am fading his points tonight, as Kelly Olynyk is set to return and likely start again for this Pelicans team.

While Missi should still start, we also saw Karlo Matkovic have a strong game last night, so there are several guys who could steal minutes away from Missi, who is already a low-usage player.

Pick: Yves Missi Under 9.5 Points (-120)

By Bruce Marshall

The Clippers managed to secure a much-needed win at Chicago on Wednesday after losing the first three of their post-All-Star week road trip.

With Norman Powell still out (and status iffy again for tonight), James Harden took control at United Center with 30 points, though the Bulls kept the Clips running all night by shooting a bunch of triples.

Whether the Clips, likely minus Powell, can speed up the Lakers remains to be seen.

The Lake Show has now won four straight as the Luka Doncic dividend starts to get paid, but the real post-Dallas-trade note is that the Lakers have seen the total go Under in all five games since Luka joined the team, with none of the score lines close to the totals posted.

Play Clippers-Lakers “Under”

Pick: Under 220 (-110)

By Dead Pres Picks

On Friday Night, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics will meet for a heavy-weight battle from TD Garden. Cleveland’s record is 48-10, the best in the NBA. Boston has a record of 42-17 and is trailing the Cavs by 6.5 games in the East.

Joe Mazzulla and company remain the betting favorite to win the Eastern Conference after being world champions last season. The Celtics have been on a roll lately, winning eight of their last 10 games. All-Star Jayson Tatum leads the team with 26.6 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 5.8 assists.

The Cavs will attempt to extend their win streak to nine games tonight. Head coach Kenny Atkinson is likely on his way to winning coach of the year in his first year with the Cavs. Atkinson’s team has exceeded all expectations and will be in the mix for a ring this year.

Veteran Donovan Mitchell leads the team with 24.0 points per game this season.

Despite having the better record, Boston remains the best team in the East and will display that tonight. We will likely see a close back-and-forth contest, but the Celtics should find a way to handle business on their home floor.

I expect Jaylen Brown to suit up and play tonight, meaning Boston will be nearly 100 percent healthy for this game. Our Action Report sets this line at 2.4 in favor of the Celtics.

Pick: Celtics Moneyline (-125)
