Celtics and Cavs Both Banged Up and Ready to Rumble
Game Seven of the NBA's Eastern Conference Finals is amongst us. It should be a classic. The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics take both of their banged up squads to talk on Sunday when they battle at TD Garden. The Celtics have found new potential superstars and the Cavs are finding out how much they can lean on King James.
Oddsmakers opened the Celtics as -2-point favorites versus the Cavaliers, while the game's total opened at 201.5. The total has slipped to 198.5 and the line is not Boston -2.5.
King James scored 46 points in another elimination-game for the Cavaliers in Cleveland on Friday night. Now James returns to the scene of his 2012 magic with the Heat. He is going to try to will the Cavs to a win in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals Sunday night.
This will not be an easy task for James and his hobbled teammates. They will look to hand the Celtics their only loss in 11 postseason home games. The task got a lot tougher Saturday.
It was announced that Kevin Love is in the league's concussion protocol and is out for Game 7. He banged heads with Jason Taytum and had to leave Game 6.
