The Celtics are 35-15 and have been a disasterous team to back against the spread:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Boston is 19-30-1 ATS. As underdogs, the Celtics are 0-2 ATS and SU, losing those games by an average of 8.5 points. <br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cleveland, meanwhile, is a league-best 33-16-0 ATS and has already beaten Boston as a home favourite on Dec. 1 (115-111).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Celtics are still a great team, but the championship hangover is palatable. They&#8217;re on a three-game win streak against bottom-feeders (Bulls, Pelicans, 76ers), and before that, they had lost five of 10 \u2014 including a blowout loss against the Raptors in Toronto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cleveland has put up 125-plus points in five of its last seven and will be rearing to make a statement agianst the team which bounced it from the playoffs last year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-7d51b19d-484e-41f6-a2ed-00acc408a7fb\"><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Cleveland is 24-3 at home this season with a +13.4 net rating (second-best in the NBA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-b018dc4b-52e8-414c-ae1d-e5313338cc69\">Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-e807ee8e-c111-4508-89f2-9d561c5aa912\"><strong>Mobley over 25.5 points and rebounds (-118):<\/strong> Mobley is having the best scoring season of his career and I expect him to be a force on Tuesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-e807ee8e-c111-4508-89f2-9d561c5aa912\">The power forward is posting career highs in the following categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Points per game (18.3)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3PT% (39.8)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>FTA (4.0)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding a 3-point stroke and getting to the line has made Mobley a more dynamic scorer. He&#8217;s always been a solid rebounder, though, averaging at least 9.0 rebounds over the last three seasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boston allows the eighth-most rebounds per game to power forwards, per Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mobley is averaging 29.4 points and rebounds and has gone over this line in 27 of 43 starts (62.7%). That includes a 22-point, 11-rebound game against the Celtics in Boston on Nov. 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-06afb39d-df23-496d-bef9-7b9c23d0c7fb\"><em>Picks made at 9:37 a.m. ET on 02\/04\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cleveland Cavaliers host the Boston Celtics in an Eastern Conference heavyweight showdown.
