12/02/2024Darren WorrellDavid Butler II - USA Today SportssportsWelcome back to Darren’s Takes, the weekly column where I break down and predict a couple of key NBA games that will be taking place on Mondays and Tuesdays, as well as highlight crucial player matchups. I hope everyone has been enjoying the games, and I hope you enjoy this week’s edition! The Cavaliers have lost three games this season, and tonight they are facing the team who gave them their first loss of the season: the Boston Celtics. With a loss tonight, the Cavaliers will fall to second place in the Eastern Conference, and the Celtics will take over number one. We are now in week seven, a brand-new week with lots of games and key matchups. Without further ado, let’s get into these takes.
