CLE Cavs @ BOS Celts
This is slightly short notice but I think the price on over 177.5pts in the Cleveland - Boston match this evening at just over evens with Betfair is a cracking bet...

On Tuesday night/wednesday morning the two teams fought out a very defensive affair where both teams struggled at times with points from the field, even Lebron James had a slight shocker, only wracking up 4 points from the field, with over half an hour between the two baskets, and Ray Allen who is usually pretty consistent from both inside and outside of the 'D' didn't manage to make a single point.

This evening however, I think the result will be much different, both teams will no doubt have been training away and looking at finding openings in opposition defense as the result was too close for comfort for Boston as they trailed by as much as 6 during the second half after leading by 10 after the first quarter, and somehow not managing to make a basket for 6 minutes during the second quarter.

The Game Totals line set that evening was over 185.5pts and I think tonight Lebron and Ray Allen will both, touch wood, be back to form again, and Bet365 have even offered a very generous 8/5 on over this total. Even though the total was a megre 148 points on Tuesday, with two good players hopefully back on form a good total could potentially be made here, and I cannot see another scoreless run like the one the Celts had on Tuesday night, and it looks like a very makeable total for the evening. I believe the Cavs will think that they can take the win with a bit more aggression in the attacking part of their game, and the Celts will not be happy with their lack of field goals.

Over 177.5pts @ 2.06 (Betfair)

Small tip for Over 184.5pts @ 8/5 (Bet365)
