Celtics at Cavaliers 5/25/18 - NBA Picks & Predictions

In Friday night NBA playoff action, the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers will play Game Six of the Eastern Conference Finals from Quicken Loans Arena. The second-seeded Celtics moved to 10-0 this postseason at home with a 96-83 victory on Wednesday night to move one win away from reaching the NBA Finals. Boston jumped out to a 32-19 lead after one quarter and never trailed moving forward. The Celtics connected on 13-for-39 from long distance and assisted on 18 of their 31 made field goals.

LeBron James led all scorers with 26 points to go along with 10 rebounds and five assists. The rest of the Cleveland starters totaled 24 points on a combined 8-for-29 shooting effort.

Boston G Shane Larkin (shoulder) did not play again on Wednesday and is likely out for the remainder of the series. LeBron James looked tired in the Game Five loss, but I would expect him to rally the troops at home and force a Game Seven in Boston. Take Cleveland to win and cover at home. Final Score Prediction, Cleveland Cavaliers win and cover ATS 106-94.
