Celtics vs. Cavaliers Odds & Betting Predictions - March 6, 2024

The Cleveland Cavaliers take on the Boston Celtics today without Donovan Mitchell. This is going to be a tough matchup for Cleveland who may find it difficult to score. One player I expect to have a lesser performance is Jarrett Allen. Allen’s PRA line is set at 31.5, a number he has failed to reach in all 7 contests against the Celtics over the last few seasons. He has only exceeded this line in 33% of games this season and the number drops to 28% when playing alongside Evan Mobley. Matchup wise, Boston’s defense is second-best in the league and both teams play at a below average Pace this season. This is a brutal spot for Allen and given Boston’s recent form we could see this game get out of hand. I like Allen to go under 31.5 PRA.

Brown has covered this line in 8 of his last 10 games (7/6/3/2/4/5/3/1/5/3) and when you look into Brown’s assists against the Cavs, it’s a number he’s covered in both games this season (4/5). Going back to last year, Brown has at least 4 assists in all 6 of his games vs. Cleveland: 4/4/4/9/4/5
