LeBron James might not believe Wednesday night’s game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics is a big deal, but the Eastern Conference standings would beg to differ.
Both the Cavs and Celtics enter Wednesday’s game at TD Garden atop the East at 50-27, and whichever team wins would have a one game lead in the race for homecourt advantage throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs. This game also will decide if the Cavaliers win the teams’ season series, or if it ends in a tie.
Cleveland will be without center Tristan Thompson after he suffered a thumb injury in Tuesday’s win over the Orlando Magic, and Boston’s Jae Crowder appears to be a question mark with a sore elbow.
But everyone else appears ready for a potential Eastern Conference finals preview in Boston.
Here’s how you can watch Cavaliers vs. Celtics online.
When: Wednesday, April 5, at 8 p.m. ET
