The Boston Celtics get their first look at the new-look Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night as they return to TD Garden for their fifth game of the 2022-23 NBA season. They will square off against Donovan Mitchell, last season’s rookie phenom Evan Mobley, and, health allowing, Darius Garland.
With a changed supporting cast due to the Mitchell trade, it is unclear how much of a challenge the Cavs are for Boston now, but it is clear they are a better team for the deal. Will the Celtics handle their business in the wake of a stinging loss to the Chicago Bulls, or encounter their first losing streak of the season?
