The Cleveland Cavaliers have covered 13 of their L14 games including covering their L6. Tonight they will head to Boston as 5.5 point dogs. The Celtics are coming off a 108-103 defeat to PHI but Boston is (10-5 ATS) off a loss and (9-4 ATS) after failing to cover. There are inactives on both teams tonight but the big one for me is (CLE) rookie Center E. Mobley who is #2 on the team for minutes/game. The Cavs also fall in a (29.6%) system of road dogs 3.5 to 9.5 with a 60-75% win percentage off a 20+ point win over a divisional rival (18-45 ATS) since ‘96. The Celtics are also (10-2 ATS) after scoring 105 or less.
Pick: BOS CELTICS -5.5
