2023 NBA bets, lines and stats for Cavs-Celtics and more - ESPN

The Celtics beat the Cavaliers on Tuesday, so this is the second game of a back-to-back. The Cavs are on a two-game losing streak, while the Celtics have won five of their past six. Boston enters as an 8.5-point favorite, but I'm very interested in two other bets from this game. It'll be interesting to see what happens Tuesday night.
