Boston were outscored by 15 points in the first quarter of Game 3 and were never troubled from thereon, with Boston turning the ball over 15 times and shooting 39.2% from the floor, their lowest this Playoffs.
Away from TD Garden the Celtics are 1-5 in these Playoffs, and tonight doesn’t look like it gets any easier, but in saying that, we do have faith in Brad Stevens who’s been able to make adjustments following losses better than any coach. The Celtics are 24-9-1 following losses through the season and tonight you can bet they will be looking for another gear defensively. With only 7 fast break points in Game 3 and a ramped up Boston offense, we like the Unders.
The Unders are 7-3 over the last 10 meetings to go with a 10-3 Unders record in Cleveland’s last 13 games at Quicken Loans.
Go the Unders tonight, with the Cavs to draw the series even in a slow-paced game.
BEST BET = Cleveland -6.5
