The big NBA game on Sunday night will pit the Boston Celtics (60-19) against the Cleveland Cavaliers (64-15) and Sports Betting Worldis your one-stop shop for all the pertinent betting information you need before putting money on this Eastern Conference clash.

Cleveland is the home team for this one and they have been nothing short of amazing at home this year with a 38-1 record on the year that includes a 15-point dominant effort against the Celtics in an earlier season home game.  The Celtics come in with a respectable 26-13 record on the road this season and have 5-point and 11-point wins over the Cavaliers this season with both games taking place in Boston.

The Cavaliers have dominated the NBA point spread in this series with 8 covers over the last 10 meetings including 7 of the last 8 while the home team has won straight up in every single one of those last 10 games.  The under has been the better pick in this series with 6 of the last 10 going that way although the last meeting between the two teams did manage to go over the total by 13.5 points.

The lines are up at most online sportsbooks with the home-team Cavaliers favored by 5.5 points and an over/under betting total set for 186 points.  The NBA betting odds have not really moved much since they opened up although the public favors Cleveland at about a 60% ratio according to most bet-tracking websites.

Boston is still trying to work without forwards Kevin Garnett (15.8 PPG, 8.5 RPG) and Leon Powe (7.5 PPG, 4.8 RPG) and although both are going to miss this game, the Celtics are expecting both to play in the season finale against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday in an effort to get ready for the playoffs.  The only injury for the Cavaliers is that of forward J.J. Hickson (3.9 PPG, 2.6 RPG) who receives so little playing time in his rookie year that the injury shouldn’t affect the outcome of this game.

Both squads are playing on a single day of rest but there is not much separating the two teams as far as covering the point spreads with that day to prepare.  Boston is 23-22 in that situation with Cleveland coming in at 23-19.  Boston has a record of 21-18 against the point spread while on the road while the Cavaliers have covered in 26 of their 39 home games.
