(NBA) Boston vs. Cleveland, 10/17/2017 4:00 PM, Score: 99 - 102
Point Spread: -3.00 | -110.00 Cleveland (Home)
Result: Push
This is a 10* GAME OF THE MONTH on the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Isaiah Thomas won't be suited up for the Cavs tonight, but Kyrie Irving will be in the lineup for the Celtics. Boston also added All Star Gordon Hayward to its lineup. The Cavs made plenty of moves as well in the offseason, additionally acquiring Dwyane Wade, Derrick Rose, Jeff Green and Jae Crowder. Hayward averaged 21.9 points, 5.4 boards and 3.5 assists in Utah last year. Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown are expected to fill holes for the C's this season as well. Wade and Rose are on the tail ends of their careers, but add depth to an already deep Cavaliers team. Whether LeBron James plays or not tonight (injured ankle), we think that the home side has a major advantage. Irving is now the focal point of the C's offense, which puts a burden both on himself and his teammates as well. It's going to take some time for the new look Celtic offense to build chemistry and we think that's going to spell trouble in "The Land." In our opinion, this is a great situational play. Lay the points, play on the CAVALIERS.
