Cleveland just finished a grueling seven-game series against Orlando and the Cavaliers had to come back from an 18-point deficit in Game 7 to win 106-94. Now they have to go and face the mighty Celtics on the road with only one day of rest while Boston has had five days off after winning and covering their final three games against Miami. The Celtics are 6-1-1 ATS as home favorites of at least 11 points and Cleveland is 1-8 ATS its past nine games as a road underdog overall and 1-8 ATS as a road dog of 11 points or more. Kristaps Porzingis (calf) is out for the Celtics, but it hasn't hurt them so far as they shot 55 percent and hit 16 of 40 3-point tries in Game 5 and won by 34 points against the Heat. The UNDER is 16-7 in Boston's past 23 conference semifinal games and Cleveland is 9-4 UNDER its past 13 games as a road underdog. The Cavaliers are 19-25 ATS on the road this season and 17-8 UNDER their past 25 road games. Take the Celtics as a Max Play and the UNDER.
