Boston Celtics -4.5
Boston shouldn't be touched until they get their sh1t right. I think this one's a great spot to back them right after Doc Rivers lashed at them and threatened to shake the rotation up. This should also be an ideal spot for the Celtics as they always seem to matchup well against the Cavs. Kyrie Irving will most likely keep them close, he always find ways to score on the Celtics getting at least 20 for the game. CJ Miles is a hit-and-miss player as always and so they have to get production from T.Thompson and Waiters. Celtics will have a slight advantage with their front court. KG and Pierce will do most of the damage with ample support from the improving Sullinger. Both teams are rested going to this game too. Celtics have one of the worst ATS record in the league. The Cavaliers' home ATS record should easily just cancelt that one out. I think motivation won't be a factor here for the Celtics. My huge concern here is that they may look ahead to the Knicks up next in their schedule. I see something like a 87-79 type of final score here.
