All signs point to an easy Boston victory when the Celtics host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night.
The Celtics have won four in a row overall and nine consecutive games at home. And Boston defeated Cleveland by 33 points on Nov. 30 -- the only time the teams have met this season.
Cleveland (9-39) has the worst record in the league. The Cavaliers lost at home Monday by 16 points to Chicago, which has only 11 victories. Cleveland has lost nine of 10 games and continues to struggle with injuries in the post-LeBron James era.
Kevin Love has played in only four games this season.
