Celtics vs Cavaliers Prediction

The Cavs are going to get the benefit of the doubt because they’ve played the better ball up to this point. The Celtics are still trying to find their footing after a lot of roster turnover. However, the Celtics looked good in their last effort, and they’re at home.

The Cavs are down three rotation players, so I’m not thrilled to lay chalk with them on the road. Also, the underdog has covered 7 of the last 10 games between the Celtics and Cavs. I don’t think the Celtics are as bad as they’ve looked, so it feels like oddsmakers are overreacting. Give me the points.
