The Cleveland Cavaliers are on the end of a back to back and still banged up with potentially no LeVert and Mobley. The Boston Celtics are rested and the healthier team, but they’ve also allowed teams to hang around this season and are 9-10-2 ATS on the season. Also, the Cavs have won 3 of the last 4 games against the Celtics, all 3 victories coming in overtime. Lots of points here. Give me the Cavs.
