Short-handed Boston has four stars listed as questionable in Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday, Derrick White (foot), and Al Horford (toe). That's two starting guards who are banged up. The Celtics are on a 6-11 ATS run. Cleveland has the best record in the NBA and is 10-1 at home. The Cavs are No. 1 in the league in scoring (122.4 points per game), shooting (51.2%), and 3-point shooting (40.2%), while the defense is 11th in field goal shooting allowed. Cleveland is on an 18-8 ATS run and the arena will be sky-high with the banged-up champs in town. Play Cleveland.

Cleveland at Boston

Cleveland came home after a stunning win in Game 2, but lost lost Games 3 and 4 at home, along with their best two players in five-time All-Star Donovan Mitchell (calf) and Jarrett Allen (ribs). The Cavaliers are 76-119 ATS on the road against teams that outrebound their opponents by 3+ boards per game. Boston's defense was fifth in points given up and second in shooting allowed during the regular season, while the offense was second in points scored and 3-point shooting. The Celtics are 45-37 as a favorite and 13-5 ATS at home after playing a road game. Play Boston.

Donovan Mitchell is doubtful with a calf injury and that's the last thing Cleveland wants to hear after getting blown out in two of the first three games of this series, including 106-93 on Saturday. Jayson Tatum had 33 points and Jaylen Brown added 28 for the Celtics and the teams went UNDER for the second time in a row and by 11.5 points in Game 3. The Cavaliers shot 43 percent overall and hit just 12 of 36 on 3-point tries. Cleveland is 1-10 ATS its past 11 playoff games as an underdog and 2-10 ATS as a dog its past 12 games overall. Boston is 10-4 ATS its past 14 road contests and 18-8-3 ATS overall following a win. The Celtics are 8-3 UNDER as favorites their past 11 postseason games and the Cavaliers are 14-3 UNDER overall as underdogs of 5.0-10.5 points. Cleveland is 37-21 UNDER in the first half. Take the Celtics and the first half UNDER and the full game to stay UNDER.
