Cleveland at Boston

Boston has put itself in a nearly must-win situation after losing both games at Cleveland and the Celtics are 9-0 at home this postseason. Boston won the first two games by an average of 19 points while holding the Cavaliers to 88.5 points per game and that's what the Celtics will have to do again tonight from the start of the game. Both games in Boston went UNDER and the UNDER is 10-3 the last 13 meetings at Boston and five of the last seven meetings overall. Boston is 10-2 ATS its last 12 games when following a loss and 12-5 ATS its last 17 games overall. The Celtics have stayed UNDER five straight after scoring at least 100 points their previous game and five of their last seven overall. Boston is 18-6 ATS its last 24 home contests and will immediately come out strong on the defensive end in this matchup to counter another scoring binge by LeBron James. Play the Celtics for the game and the first half UNDER.
