Premium Pick

Donovan Mitchell is doubtful with a calf injury and that's the last thing Cleveland wants to hear after getting blown out in two of the first three games of this series, including 106-93 on Saturday. Jayson Tatum had 33 points and Jaylen Brown added 28 for the Celtics and the teams went UNDER for the second time in a row and by 11.5 points in Game 3. The Cavaliers shot 43 percent overall and hit just 12 of 36 on 3-point tries. Cleveland is 1-10 ATS its past 11 playoff games as an underdog and 2-10 ATS as a dog its past 12 games overall. Boston is 10-4 ATS its past 14 road contests and 18-8-3 ATS overall following a win. The Celtics are 8-3 UNDER as favorites their past 11 postseason games and the Cavaliers are 14-3 UNDER overall as underdogs of 5.0-10.5 points. Cleveland is 37-21 UNDER in the first half. Take the Celtics and the first half UNDER and the full game to stay UNDER.
