Over their last five games, both overall and at home, the Cavaliers' average score has been significantly below the 130.5 mark, at 112.2 and 110.2 respectively. Additionally, the model predicts the Cavaliers to score 110.52 points, again substantially lower than the set point outcome. This indicates a pattern of the Cavaliers not reaching such high scores.

The bet on the Boston Celtics for a 7 point spread is a calculated decision. The Celtics have shown greater recent form, with a 4-1 record in their last 5 games compared to the Cavaliers' 3-2. Furthermore, the Celtics have demonstrated an impressive scoring ability away from home, with an average score of 120.2 points in their last 5 away games, significantly higher than the Cavaliers' home average of 110.2. Although the Cavaliers have a better head-to-head record in the last 5 meetings (3-1), the Celtics' current form and superior away scoring suggest they have a good chance to cover the 7 point spread. This is further reinforced by the model prediction of 5.25, indicating a close game. Thus, backing the Celtics seems a prudent choice.
