Cleveland at Boston

The Cavaliers did not let a 10-day layoff affect them as they built a 28-point lead before winning 117-104 in Game 1 at Boston. Boston may have shown some effects from a grueling seven-game series win over the Wizards, but the Celtics appeared overmatched as LeBron James poured in 38 points with nine rebounds and seven assists. Kevin Love added 32 points and 12 boards and Tristan Thompson finished with 20 points. The game went OVER the posted total and the Cavaliers now have gone OVER in seven of their nine playoff games while winning every one of them. The Celtics have gone OVER six of their last eight games and they are 7-1 OVER after a loss. Also, Boston is 12-3-1 OVER its last 16 home games and the Cavs are 34-16-1 OVER their last 51 games overall. This is almost a must-win situation for Boston, however, as the Cavaliers have covered the number five of the last six meetings at Boston and show no signs of letting up. Take both the Cavaliers on the moneyline and the OVER.
