Cleveland at Boston

The Boston Celtics were one of the best teams from the All-Star break on in the NBA, but that provides little solace to a team that competed hard in Cleveland, but came away empty at 0-2. They now come home to the historic Boston Garden to try and get back in the series. One huge change in this Boston team has been their defensive play at home. They flipped the defensive switch around February 10th, going from allowing 103.1 points per game on the road since that time, but a allowing stingy 94.9 ppg at home - nearly a 10 point swing. As a result, I expect this game to be much lower scoring. The Cavaliers come in owning an amazing 40-18-1 mark to the UNDER in their last 59 games on a day of rest. Boston owns a 7-1 run to the UNDER in their last eight at home vs. a team with a winning road record, and 8-2 to the UNDER in their last 10 first round playoff games. Take the UNDER in this one.
