Game 1 of the 2017 Eastern Conference Finals between No. 2 Cleveland and No. 1 Boston will be on Wednesday, May 17. Tipoff from the TD Garden in Boston will be at 8:30 p.m. ET. The national broadcast will be on TNT. TNT Overtime and FuboTV will have the available live streams for Game 1.

According to OddsShark.com, the Celtics will be getting four points at home from the visiting Cavaliers in Game 1. The associated moneylines for Game 1 are Cleveland -170 and Boston +167. This game’s over/under comes in at a combined 219.5 points.

Though Boston is the higher seed and has home-court advantage in the Eastern Conference Finals, this is one of those rare instances where the lower-seeded team is the presumptive favorite to advance.

Getting this series to a sixth game would be a huge deal for this up-and-coming Celtics team. For the Cavaliers, it’s getting to the NBA Finals and winning an NBA Championship or bust. Anything positive the Celtics do in this series is an added bonus. Take the Cavaliers to win and cover the four-point spread on the road. The over makes sense as the play in the parlay.

Date: Wednesday, May 17
Time: 8:30 p.m. ET
Location: Boston, Massachusetts
Venue: TD Garden
TV Info: TNT
Live Stream: TNT Overtime, FuboTV

Can Boston build on its exciting Game 7 win over the Wizards to take Game 1 from the Cavaliers? Will Cleveland play relaxed to win Game 1 away from home or will the Cavaliers be rusty after having had 10 days off?
