Last season, the Celtics and Cavs faced off in the second round of the NBA playoffs.

The Celtics won the series in five games, and Mitchell missed the final two games due to injury.

Following the Cavs, the Celtics went on to defeat the Indiana Pacers and Dallas Mavericks to win the 2024 NBA Championship (Brown won the Finals MVP Award).

Mitchell and the Cavs are expected to be among the best teams in the Eastern Conference this season.

As long as they can stay healthy, they have a roster that has the talent to contend for the 2025 NBA Finals.

The Cavs will play their first game on October 23 when they visit the Toronto Raptors.
