Today's NBA Basketball Picks:

Game: Boston at Cleveland (8:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Cleveland -7 (-110) (risk 3 to win 2.7)

The Boston Celtics took a risk and somewhat mortgaged their future when they signed Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett. They got the championship they coveted in 2008, but slipped last year, and have slipped further this year. The win column has gone from 66 to 62, to 50 this year. The Cavaliers are at the peak of the LeBron era, which some think may end this season. He will be playing Saturday, so let's get that out of the way. The Celtics have sputtered in the Conference semis at just 4-13 ATS in their last 17, while the Cavs have been cash cows, weighing-in at 17-5-1 ATS in their last 23 in this round. Boston, with better teams has struggled in Cleveland, standing at just 1-6 ATS their last seven here. No. 1 seeds have dominated game ones in this round, and this one goes to the Cavs.
