2010 NBA Playoffs: Cavaliers vs Celtics Game 4 Odds & Picks: The Cavaliers and Celtics meet again this afternoon in a critical game four matchup at the TD Garden in Boston. Cleveland will be chasing a 3-1 series lead when the game tips off at 3:30pm ET this afternoon on ABC. 2010 NBA Playoffs Game 4 Odds & Picks at Sportsbook.com have the Cavs listed as a -1 against the spread road favorite; the game total is set at 197.
On Friday night Cleveland wasted little time proving that Boston's surprising game two win at the Quicken Loans Arena was
not a death sentence for the Cavs title hopes. LeBron James and company came into the Garden and got an easy 124-95 victory after jumping out to a 19 point first quarter lead.
Cleveland, which had so much difficulty with the Celtics defense in Monday night's loss, shot a smouldering 59.5 percent from the field. The Cavaliers also got to the free throw 34 times where they connected on 31 charity baskets. James led the way for Cleveland with 38 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists while Antawn Jamison added 20 points and 12 rebounds to help give the Cavs a 45 to 30 edge on the glass.
Boston shot a medicore 42.7 percent from the floor, but it hit just 4-of-17 from beyond the arc and 21-of-29 from the charity stripe. Kevin Garnett scored a team high 19 points; however, the big man got little help from the other two-thirds of the Big Three as Ray Allen and Paul Pierce combined for 18 points on 6-of-24 shooting.
Friday's victory was just the second win for the Cavaliers in their last 10 trips to Boston. But it signaled that the Celtics home dominance against Cleveland may be in jeopardy as it was the Cavs second win in their last three contests at the Garden.
2010 NBA Playoffs Betting Trend: The Cavaliers are 8-2 straight up in their last 10 games as a road favorite with a total between 195 and 200.
