Cleveland Cavaliers at Boston Celtics Odds – NBA Betting

The defending NBA Champion Boston Celtics open up defense of their title on Tuesday at 8:05pm EST on TNT as they host LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Odds makers have the Celtics -6.5 point favorites at home in NBA odds against the Cavaliers with a total of 179.5. The preseason was virtually flawless for the Celtics in NBA betting and they look poised for another great season. "We feel like we've picked up where we've left off," Boston’s Ray Allen said.

"It's hard to disagree with anything we did last year, even though we think, 'I can do this a little bit better,' [or] 'I can do that a little bit better,' we got to a point last year where we did better by doing less, a lot of us.” Boston has not won back-to-back titles since 1969 but Paul Pierce believes this team could do it. "The confidence has grown from winning a championship," Pierce said. "The guys love that feeling. For us to do it again would be a hell of an accomplishment because a Celtics team hasn't done it in 40 years." The Cavaliers are not rolling over for the Celtics on Tuesday. They have LeBron James who is one of the favorites to win the MVP award this season and they have newcomer Mo Williams.
