Cavaliers vs Celtics Prediction

The Cleveland Cavaliers should be favored at home where they’re 24-3 SU on the season. The home team has won the first two games this season between the Celtics and Cavs. The Cavs are also 33-16 ATS on the season. I wouldn’t talk you off the ledge if you’re looking at the Cavaliers and the free bucket. The value is still with the Celtics and the free bucket. The Celtics are still the betting favorite to win the NBA title, and you just don’t get them as an underdog. In fact, this will be just the fourth time since June of last year where the Celtics are an underdog. You just don’t get a fully healthy Celtics team as an underdog and I find it hard to turn down. Give me the Celtics on Tuesday night.
