Celtics @ CavsPreview and Pick

Betjamaica.com has installed the Cavs as a robust -450 to win the series, with the Celtics to be had at +350. Cleveland is 1-to-2 to win the East and 7/5 to win the NBA title, while those that want Boston can get 17/2 and 15/1 odds.

As much as we would not like to admit it, the Cavs are the best team in the East. They are led by the MVP in Lebron James and he has one of the deepest teams he has ever played with. Antawn Jamison and his collection of scoring techniques is the extra scorer coach Mike Brown needed when teams double and triple Lebron James. Shaquille O’Neal a big body in the post and with Zydrunas Ilgauskas and energetic Anderson Varejao, the Cavaliers will have plenty of size to overtake a small Celtics squad. These teams split the season series but in the playoffs it may not be that closely contested.

The big three have to be on the top of their game to even keep this one close. The Cavs have the size down low and they have a response for Boston if they double James. The Celtics are very weak with depth and Rasheed Wallace has been a huge bust for the Celtics. Boston is just 1-6 ATS in the last seven meetings in Cleveland and the last time they met the Cavs in the playoffs Cleveland went 6-1 ATS.The Celtics are 6-16-1 ATS in their last 23 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and 4-13 ATS in their last 17 Conference Semifinals games. Finally the Celtics are 7-18-2 ATS in the last 27 meetings. Lebron James is healthy and will be fine for the playoffs and don’t let this big line scare you. The Cavs win game one and the series.
