Cleveland Cavaliers vs Boston Celtics Live Stream (Preview): Watch NBA Basketball 2016 Online

It's a battle between Eastern Conference teams surging this season as the Cleveland Cavaliers host the Boston Celtics at the Quicken Loans Arena in the regular season of the National Basketball Association.

The match-up is on February 5, 2016 at 7:30 PM ET.

Both teams are doing fairly well this season as the Cavaliers hold one of the best records in the league while the Celtics are holding on to second place in their division.

The level of talent may be very different on paper, with the Cavaliers boasting one of the best line-ups in the league today, while the Celtics may not have star players but they have done what is necessary to get the wins that they need.

For Cleveland, the target is still to get a championship. With the squad that they currently have led by LeBron James, anything less than winning a title is another disappointing run.

Hoping that everyone stays healthy, the Cavaliers are expected to reach the playoffs with Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson and JR Smith going alongside James in the line-up.

They were already close to getting a title last year and they are hungry to beat anyone who may get in their way.

On the other hand, the Celtics are probably the only team who are not considered elite who have not believed in the process of tanking.

As they go through development, the Celtics are still challenging for games and it has resulted in positive matches for them.

They are en route to snatching a spot in the top eight in the Eastern Conference the way things are going and they only want to find the consistency to make that happen.

If they get a win over the Cavaliers, it will be a big achievement and a good barometer on where they stand in this season.
