The Boston Celtics' disappointing season has resulted in them having to open the playoffs in the qualifying round. They lost Jalen Brown for the year, and a myriad of injuries sealed their fate. The acquisition of Evan Fournier started off looking bad, but he has found his stride and has become a key contributor. Cleveland at 21-48 has obviously packed it in for the season. The Cavs' ugly season is only getting worse as they have not seen the win column in 11 straight games, and just once in their last 15. The defense does next to nothing, allowing eight of their last nine opponents to shoot 50 percent or better. The Cavs have not covered a game in a month either. Make the play on Boston.
