Cleveland at Boston

LeBron James did what he has done so often, he comes out firing in an elimination game, playing 46 minutes, and scoring over 40 points for the seventh time this season in the playoffs. It was a disappointment for Boston, as they have just one overtime win on the road for the entire playoffs. The good news is, despite James' heroics, Boston is 10-0 SU/ATS at home in the playoffs, beating LeBron three times here. While the Cavs have seemingly scored at will at home in this series, they have had few answers on offense on the road, where Boston has held them to 86.7 points per game at the Garden. Boston has seen the home team win 17 of their 18 playoff games, and the Cavs have not gotten any help for LeBron on the road. Often times a decisive Game 7 is played on the defensive end, and especially in the first half, before the end game may involve a free throw contest in a close contest, pushing the total over the top. Boston has a pedigree that involves them being 37-0 in a series if they were up 2-0, and Round 3 has gone five of six to the home team, if the home team has won the first six. Make the play on Boston and the Frist-Half UNDER.
