Cavaliers VS Celtics 3/1 NBA Free Betting Pick
Cavaliers VS Celtics 3/1 NBA Free Betting Pick
Cavaliers -1 O/U 222
The Cleveland Cavaliers travel to Boston to take on the Celtics in what could be considering the first important game this season in the Eastern Conference. The Cavaliers are 2-1 straight up and 1-2 against the spread since the All Star break. 2 out of those 3 games have gone UNDER. The Celtics are 1-2 SU and 1-2 ATS since the break. All 3 games have gone UNDER.
For this RideTheHotHand.com free pick we are going after the spread. With the injury to Kyle Lowry of the Raptors, these 2 teams look like the only 2 Eastern teams that can snag the #1 seed. If you think that matters or not is something for you to decide. We do think that Lebron James understands how important it is to put doubt in another team’s head that they might see in the Eastern Conference finals. These teams have played twice this season with the Cavs winning both on their home floor by 8 and 6 points. This game is the first of 2 more games this season between the teams, both will be played In Boston. Boston is already thinking that even though they lost the first 2 of the season series it’s going to be different at home. We’re here to tell them not so fast. This game is big for Lebron and Company. Losing 7 games in January to Western Conference teams means nothing to them. Going to Boston and beating the team who is 2nd in the standings on March 1st does. Look for the Cavs to pick up the defensive intensity in this game and show the Celtics what a playoff series against them will look like. Isaiah Thomas may be a 4th quarter magician but if this game is close in the 4th look for Lebron to guard him which means Lights Out for Boston. THE PICK: Cleveland -1
