This should be a battle with playoff intensity. The Cavs are unbeaten on the season in 18 home games. The biggest reason is the effort the Cavs are making on the defensive end. They have allowed just 84.3 points per game at home in their last nine. The Cavs are probably just what the Celtics need right now, as after a 27-2 start, they have gone just 2-6. The one constant on this Celtics’ team is they bring a big defense against all the good teams, home or away. The C's have allowed just 88.6 ppg to teams they have faced on the road with a winning record. We have two teams here that are committed on the defensive end and under a playoff atmosphere, this one should play in the 80s and I'll back the UNDER here.
