Advice and prediction
In their first meeting this season, the Celtics smoked the Cavaliers 141-103 in a game where Jayson Tatum wasn’t in the lineup. I don’t expect Wednesday’s game to be quite so lopsided, but this is a short-handed and offensively inept Cavs team that hasn’t been playing well lately. The Celtics should be covering games like this, even on the road. Take the Celtics -7.5.
Prediction: Celtics 114, Cavaliers 101
