Boston Celtics will tussle it out with an in-form Cleveland Cavaliers side in the
National Basketball Association (NBA) regular season match on 1 March.
Head-to-Head
This will be the 230th meeting between the two teams in the regular season since their first game in 1970 when the Cavaliers were established.
The Celtics have dominated this rivalry having recorded 141 wins compared to the Cavaliers' 88 victories from 229 matches.
Most recent meeting
Boston Celtics emerged as 112-105 winners against the Cleveland Cavaliers in a matchup of East elites on 5 February.
Jayson Tatum scored 22 and Kristaps Porziņģis added 19 for the Celtics at the Rocket Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.
Key Players
The Cavaliers will have to find a way to stop Celtics' power forward Porziņģis who can shoot over most defenders, with his sheer size and high volume creating a unique advantage initially shared by no other player in the NBA.
If there is one Cavaliers player who can inspire the team to a win over the Celtics it's Tristan Thompson checked in with around a minute left; and then proceeded to dunk the ball with 4.1 seconds left on the clock despite being up by 21 points to help Cavs beat the Toronto Raptors 131-108 on 2 February.
Quotes
“It was great," Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla explained why he recently invited New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel to their training session.
"He obviously brings a championship perspective. Any time you can get together with guys that are in the same arena as we are, I think that's important."
