These teams have split a pair of games on the season, and I still believe a healthy Boston team, that hasn't found a lot of magic lately, is still the best team in the NBA with a solid chance to repeat. Boston isn't playing hard and they are just 14-10 in their last 24 games, but this is the type of game where you are likely going to see their "A+" game, in a playoff like atmosphere in Cleveland. The Cavs have a three-game lead in the loss column. Boston is much better defensively than what they have shown over the last three weeks or so, and I expect that to change tonight. Boston allows just 107.8 PPG on the road, and their best defense should take the court tonight. If you are an NBA fan, this is must see-TV. Make the play on Boston.

Boston at Cleveland

Short-handed Boston has four stars listed as questionable in Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday, Derrick White (foot), and Al Horford (toe). That's two starting guards who are banged up. The Celtics are on a 6-11 ATS run. Cleveland has the best record in the NBA and is 10-1 at home. The Cavs are No. 1 in the league in scoring (122.4 points per game), shooting (51.2%), and 3-point shooting (40.2%), while the defense is 11th in field goal shooting allowed. Cleveland is on an 18-8 ATS run and the arena will be sky-high with the banged-up champs in town. Play Cleveland.

Cleveland at Boston
May 15, 2024

Cleveland came home after a stunning win in Game 2, but lost lost Games 3 and 4 at home, along with their best two players in five-time All-Star Donovan Mitchell (calf) and Jarrett Allen (ribs). The Cavaliers are 76-119 ATS on the road against teams that outrebound their opponents by 3+ boards per game. Boston's defense was fifth in points given up and second in shooting allowed during the regular season, while the offense was second in points scored and 3-point shooting. The Celtics are 45-37 as a favorite and 13-5 ATS at home after playing a road game. Play Boston.
