Celtics Spotlight

The Boston Celtics will be playing their second straight game in Cleveland, trying to get revenge after losing by 2-points in their last game. On the road the Celtic’s offense has been sub-par, ranking 12th in points per game, 21st in field goal percentage, and 24th in 3-point shooting. Defensively on the road their defense has been tough, ranking 7th in points allowed, 2nd in field goal percentage, 6th in 3-point shooting, and 23rd in rebounding.

Cavaliers Spotlight

The Cleveland Cavaliers continue to be a profitable back, where they took out the Celtics at home as 1.5-point favorites. The Cavaliers hasn’t been blowing teams away offensively at home, ranking 27th in points per game, 16th in field goal percentage, and 23rd in 3-point shooting. Defensively at home the Cavaliers have been stingy, ranking 2nd in points allowed, 7th in field goal percentage, 11th in 3-point shooting, and 18th in rebounding.

Final Say

The Celtics have been playing solid basketball lately, going 5-1 ATS in their last six games, while going 5-2 ATS in their last seven games on the road. But on the other side, Cavaliers have been taking teams by surprise, going 8-0 ATS in their last eight games. They have also owned the Celtics lately going 4-2 ATS in their last six games against them, while they have gone 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games at home against them. The Celtics have gone 1-5 SU in their last six versus a Central Division opponent, while the Cavaliers have gone 4-1 AU in their last five games versus an Atlantic Division opponent. Depth issues should eventually get at these Cavaliers, but they are still playing good basketball at the moment. Grabbing the free points and rolling with the home underdogs.

Pick: Cleveland Cavaliers +2.5
