BOSTON -- Kevin Love has dominated the Celtics this season, to the tune of 56 points and 23 rebounds in a pair of Cleveland victories.
But Love, who recently underwent arthroscopic knee surgery, won't be in the lineup when the Cavaliers visit the Celtics in a meeting of the Eastern Conference's top two seeds on Wednesday night.
The Cavs have averaged 126 points per game in the two get-togethers with the Celtics -- both in Cleveland this season. And the defending champions hit TD Garden with five wins in their last six games and a 44-17 season record.
