Premium Pick

Boston is fat and happy after a record-setting blowout at home over Golden State, 140-88. But NBA underdogs like the Cavaliers that average 114+ points are 60-32 ATS against an opponent off a game scoring 135+ points. The Celtics are 4-15 ATS on the road after covering the spread in six consecutive contests. Cleveland is no pushover, and their +4.8 point differential is the second-best in the East. The Cavs are second in the NBA in points given up and fourth in shooting allowed. Cleveland is 19-9 ATS against teams that make 36%+ of their 3-pointers, plus 16-5 ATS at home after having lost two of their last three. Play Cleveland. 

1.5 units on Cleveland +8.5 (-115) (risk 1.5 to return 2.8)
