Cavaliers vs Celtics NBA Preview
Boston Celtics +3.5
We'll ride with the underdog in this primetime matchup. Boston has gotten off to a slow 1-3 start and will look to pick up its first home win of the young season.
The Celtics have been dominant at TD Garden over the past few years, and even while shorthanded, they remain one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference.
Still, I expect a close, back-and-forth contest — one that ultimately favors the 'dog in this spot.
Evan Mobley Over 18.5 Points
We’ll team up with our Action Pro Report for this prop.
Evan Mobley has emerged as the Cavaliers’ second scoring option and draws a favorable matchup tonight.
The former USC standout is averaging 18.3 points per game this season, and our Action Pro Report projects 21.2 points tonight.
