The Celtics lead the league with 35 wins and 10 losses, and the team defeated the Heat yesterday with three-point shooting as the main offensive weapon, shooting 22 three-pointers from the field on 40 shooting and shooting 55% from three-point range. This wave of 3 consecutive away games ended with a record of 3 wins and returned to the home field. Sadly, however, the team's leader Boshen sprained his ankle in yesterday's game, and now his availability is doubtful, and the team may adopt a conservative strategy to keep him out of action. The Celtics without Boshen have little impact on the average team, but when it comes to tough opponents, their interior strength is relatively average.
The Clippers are 29-14 and have a strong record so far. Despite the absence of Zubac on the inside, the team's chemistry was excellent. They have won 12 of their last 14 matches and are currently on a four-game winning streak. Yesterday, they won away from the Raptors, and coach Tyronn Lue called it a halt early in the fourth quarter to keep his players fit for the back-to-back games that followed. After the All-Star voting results were announced, the Clippers players were most disappointed because their star players Paul George and James Harden were not selected, and Leonard may be the only one who made the selection. This is clearly an unfair treatment for the Clippers, who have been doing well this season, so they may be more aggressive in the upcoming games.
For this match, I'm bullish
