.... SBG Global's NBA Betting Preview of the Boston Celtics vs. Cleveland Cavaliers reports that early action by the betting public was on the Cavs at home.

The matchup between the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night will get a lot of attention as the defending NBA champs head into Cleveland to face the Cavaliers in a rematch of last year's Eastern Conference semifinals.  The Cavaliers are the league's only unbeaten team at home and they might be catching the Celtics at just the right time.  Boston has lost six of their last eight games and no longer has the best record in the Eastern Conference.  That honor belongs to Cleveland. "We know it is not just another game," Cleveland's LeBron James said, "We're looking forward to the challenge."

The Celtics might need the challenge of playing at Cleveland to wake them up.  They were held to a pathetically low 11 points in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's home loss to Houston and need to get things turned around. "That's not a bad test for us," Boston coach Doc Rivers said. "It's going to be a tough game. They're playing unbelievable basketball. Maybe it will be something to get us going. Who knows?"  The Celtics opened the season by defeating the Cavaliers in Boston by a score of 90-85 but this time they play in Cleveland "They got us up there," Cavs guard Mo Williams said. "It's our turn. It's payback time."

The Celtics realize that Friday's game will not be easy. "This is the team we put out of the playoffs," Boston's Paul Pierce said, "They are the best home team in all of basketball, so they have been looking forward to this. We're going to get their best punch. When you play in a game like this, teams like us want to try to find the edge because we know somewhere down the road we're going to see them in the playoffs. We have got to be ready for their best shot. The way they have been playing at home has been unbelievable, but the way we are playing, this is a great way to get back on track."

Here are the NBA betting stats for Friday's game. The Celtics are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 Friday games. The Celtics are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 vs. the Eastern Conference. The Celtics are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games. The Celtics are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Cleveland.

Iowa State: Are They The Underdogs To Look For In March Madness?

They may be defined as “underdogs” or “Cinderella teams”, a term that is usually saved for teams that have little to no chance of winning even a single game during the NCAA Tournament. Teams like Loyola Marymount (1990), George Mason (2006), Davidson (2008), VCU (2011), UConn (2014), and Loyola Chicago (2018) come to mind when conversations turn toward the most surprising tournament runs in recent memory.
