Sure, some of the luster of this Boston-Cleveland meeting is off considering that both have clinched their respective playoff spots for next weekend, but we feel both teams will get after it today, as they know they are likely to face each other once again in the postseason, and feel the need to "send a message" in this showdown.
That being said, we will side with the Cavaliers minus the number at home.
Cleveland is 38-1 straight up on their home hardwood, and they thoroughly dominated the Celtics at the Quicken Loans Arena 98-83 back in early January.
The Cavs are on a 7-1 spread run - playoffs included - the last 8 times the teams have clashed, and the Cavaliers are also on a 4-1 spread run the last 5 times they have been installed as a single digit favorite on the year.
Boston comes in toting a 6 game winning streak, but we see that streak getting snapped in a big way in this one.
Play on Cleveland minus the points.
