Cleveland won't have Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley or Isaac Okoro, but this line still feels steep. The Cavs have won six in a row and covered 14 straight. They were favored in their previous five games. Inconsistent Boston also is missing some frontcourt stalwarts and is just 5-7 ATS as a home favorite. Grab the points.
Cleveland has been hit hard by the NBA's Covid-19 outbreak and won't have any of their defensive stalwarts for Wednesday's game against Boston. The Cavs' rim protection is sure to suffer without Evan Mobley and Jarret Allen, and the perimeter should be weak without Isaac Okoro. Cleveland has lost seven of its last 10 games without Jarrett Allen by more than six points. The Celtics are understaffed in the frontcourt but can still depend on two All-Star caliber players in Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.
