The NBA rolls on this Thursday and I’m here to preview one of the biggest matchups. We have an East battle at the TD Garden when the Celtics host the Cavs without Tatum. Here are my NBA betting tips for each game, along with same game multi predictions.
Cleveland Cavaliers (3-1) at Boston Celtics (1-3)
Thursday 30/10/2025 at 10:00am AEDT. Venue: TD Garden (Boston)
intro
| SGM Bet | Donovan Mitchell 30+ Points – Evan Mobley 8+ Rebounds – Payton Pritchard 15+ Points | $4.50 |
|---|---|---|
| Best Bet | Over 233.5 pts | $1.91 |
Last 5 Form
Boston Celtics
It’s been a slow start to the season for the Celtics are losing their first 3 games as Tatum recovers from an ankle injury. But a 32 pt win over the Pelicans on Monday should give them more confidence.
Cleveland Cavaliers
After a season opening loss, the Cavs are coming off 3 straight wins and have won their last 2 on the road against the Pistons and Nets.

Best Bet
The trends say this should go Over 233 pts. The Over has saluted in 4 of the last 5 meetings when these two sides meet in Boston. The Celtics come off their highest score of the season and that should give them confidence of scoring pts against a tough Cavs defence. Cleveland have scored over 115 pts in their last 3 games as well.
NBA Same Game Multi Tips
Here are my NBA same game multi tips for the Celtics against the Cavaliers.
- 1st Leg – Donovan Mitchell 30+ Points: Mitchell has scored 30 or more points in 4 of his last 5 NBA games and I don’t see the trend slowing down against the Celtics. He loves this matchup having scored an average of 35 pts in the last 5 meetings and that includes a 41 pt haul last time out.
- 2nd Leg – Evan Mobley 8+ Rebounds: Mobley should be a safe bet to get 8 or more boards. He hasn’t fallen under this mark in all 4 games this season. He comes off 11 boards against the Pistons too. In his last 5 against Boston, he averages 9 boards per game.
- 3rd Leg – Payton Pritchard 15+ Points: Pritchard has always been underrated for the Celtics and with no Tatum, he’s getting a chance now. He comes off a solid start to the season, scoring 15+ pts in 3 of his 4 games. When he played over 30 mins against the Cavs last time, he scored 24 pts.
