Kyrie Irving won’t be playing here due to load management while Al Horford and Jayson Tatum are listed as day to day. Despite these, Boston still has plenty of talent on that roster and should be good enough to beat a Cleveland team that is just 13-25 SU at home. Boston is struggling but they’re playing the Cavs. I’m picking the Boston Celtics to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers on 3/26/19.
