Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction
The Boston Celtics are the hottest team in the league right now with 11 straight wins, and they’ve produced 6 straight covers as well. The Celtics are now a profitable 30-27-3 ATS on the season. There’s a good chance those things continue, with the Cavaliers already ruling out Max Strus and Donovan Mitchell with injuries. Caris LeVert and Isaac Okoro are listed as questionable for the Cavaliers. The Celtics are blowing the doors off teams regardless these days, so it’s asking a lot of the Cavs to hang in there with so much production banged up. I’ll lay the chalk with the Celtics on the road.
