I wasn't going to pick this game but now that Cavs center Jarrett Allen is not likely to play due to a non-COVID illness, Boston is decent value. Allen is averaging 14.2 points and 10.9 rebounds and had 11 points and 8 rebounds in Cleveland's win over Boston on Saturday. The Cavs remain without Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen and Kevin Love. Boston didn't have Al Horford or Josh Richardson on Saturday but both are probable here.

The Celtics have had two days to stew over blowing a 19-point lead in Saturday's 91-89 loss in Cleveland. For the rematch, they get Al Horford and Josh Richardson back in the lineup. Look for Jayson Tatum (1 of 8 from 3-point range, 8 of 22 overall, six turnovers) to play much better as the Celtics get payback.
