Boston at Cleveland

The Celtics have certainly shown to be a two-faced team in the playoffs. On the road, they simply can't get stops on the defensive end and their offense has struggled as well. At home they have completely shut teams down. Many will be playing the "due" factor here, but based on what we have seen to this point, that is a dangerous way to go into this game, on a "gut" due factor. The Celtics are holding teams to 75 ppg at home, but yielding over 100 on the road. What is 6-0 at home and 5-1 ATS, is 0-4 SU and 0-4 ATS on the road. This is also a place that has shown the home team to be at their best in the playoffs this year, and for many years before. The home team in game four in this round is 19-9 ATS the past ten years if they aren't down in the series 3-0. The Celtics have also played UNDER to the tune of 37-14 after giving up 100 points or more. Cleveland is also 13-4 to the UNDER in their last 17 home games and 13-7 UNDER in the playoffs at home in the Lebron era. We will ride the Cavs to even the series at home, in another ugly, low scoring defensive battle.
