Boston at Cleveland

The Boston Celtics are showing their age, and if not for Ray Allen being magical from beyond the arc (over 57% on the season) the offense is listless. They are missing the offensive “QB” in Rajon Rondo and his 15 points per game and 9.5 assists per game doesn't help either. The Celtics haven't been north of 100 points in 17 straight games, but the defense remains big, with just one of their last seven opponents topping the 88-point mark. The Cavaliers have been a decidedly UNDER team as a home dog of +4.5 or less, where they are 24-8 to the UNDER in their last 32, as well as 19-7 to the UNDER on one day of rest. Rest is important to Boston as they age, and it helps the defense play at its best as they are 23-7 to the UNDER with a day of rest. Play the UNDER.
