The Boston Celtics have their biggest challenge of the season tonight hosting the undefeated Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Celtics are currently trying to manage rim protection issues, as they’re allowing teams to score 53.1 points in the paint per game against them, which is the fourth-highest in the league.
On the other hand, the Cavaliers score 53.6 points in the paint per game, the fourth-most in the league and only allow their opponents to score 44.8 points in the paint per game, the seventh-fewest in the league this season.
Here’s a look at the injury report ahead of tonight’s game for both teams:
