Gambling911.com has your Celtics vs. Cavs betting line for Game 1 of the 2015 NBA Playoffs.

For sports bettors the one thing to take away from this series is that Boston has excelled Against The Spread this season, going 49-31-1 compared to Cleveland’s 39-43 record.

And while Boston has earned its spot in the Playoffs with a Straight Up record that is two games under the .500 mark, they just happen to be one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now, winners of six straight games and eight of their last ten. 

The Celtics are a huge 250/1 odds long shot to win the 2015 NBA Championship with a payout potential of $25000 for every $100 bet.

Cleveland has won seven of their last ten games.

Boston beat Cleveland the last time facing the Cavs.  The Celtics have won the last two games in this series and six of the last ten.

LeBron James (Cleveland) $10.6 – He should have his A-Game going today.  James put up over 40 fantasy points the last time facing Boston.

Iman Shumpert (Cleveland) $3.6K – If he could get the minutes, great!  Shumpert showed he can play top basketball against the Cavs with a 30 plus fantasy points performance the last time facing them just a few days ago.  He only needs around 20 fantasy points to make value.  With just 17:26 minutes played on March 3, Shumpert scored zero points but managed to tally up 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block and 1 steal.
