Even without the red hot Irving and Horford (rest), the Celtics are heavy favorites (-15.5, 93% win probability) in tonight’s game against the Cavaliers.

The team is trending in the right direction but I wouldn’t touch that line. No chance.

During Monday’s win over Miami, 98.5’s Adam Jones and I discussed the Celtics home (18-5) and road (11-13) splits.
