Cleveland Cavaliers at Boston Celtics Overview

In this series, in particular, home court was essential as the home team is 6-0 SU in this series. In Game Six, Cleveland dominated the Celtics defeating them by 30 points in route to their victory. LeBron James was instrumental, posting 46 points, 11 rebounds, and nine assists in the outing.

Public Money Consensus
In the early stages, the money and action appear to be right down the middle here. The public cash is divided 50/50 while just 51% of the ticket action is with the Celtics against the spread. As a result, there has been little movement on the line. In Money Line markets, the Cavs are priced at +115 while the Celtics are more affably priced at -135. In Over/Under markets, we have seen a steam move descend the line by two points. Nevertheless, we have seen the opposite numbers come in the data, 65% of the public cash and 81% of the ticket action is on the Over.
Cleveland Cavaliers at Boston Celtics Free Pick
With home court being an emphasis in this series, one intangible seemingly has been forgotten: LeBron James. There arguably isn’t a more clutch basketball player to ever set foot on the court given how many game-winning shots The King has hit to send his teams forward in dramatic circumstances. Look no further than his play against Indiana and Toronto. Boston has given the Cavaliers all they can handle and the fact they have yet to lose at home this playoff season is something that should be reveled in. However, LeBron James had also beaten the Golden State Warriors in Oakland twice in the 2016 NBA Finals when the Warriors were unbeatable at The O. Cavs outright get the call.
