Premium Pick

These teams have split a pair of games on the season, and I still believe a healthy Boston team, that hasn't found a lot of magic lately, is still the best team in the NBA with a solid chance to repeat. Boston isn't playing hard and they are just 14-10 in their last 24 games, but this is the type of game where you are likely going to see their "A+" game, in a playoff like atmosphere in Cleveland. The Cavs have a three-game lead in the loss column. Boston is much better defensively than what they have shown over the last three weeks or so, and I expect that to change tonight. Boston allows just 107.8 PPG on the road, and their best defense should take the court tonight. If you are an NBA fan, this is must see-TV. Make the play on Boston.
