For the prediction on the series, I will go with Cavs in six games.

X-Factors:

Avery Bradley.

Bradley is one of the most talented shooting guards in the league. Boston needs someone else to score in the backcourt besides Thomas. Bradley during the series vs. Washington averaged 15.6 points per game and on 43.4% shooting from the field.

Kyle Korver. 

Korver averaged 10.3 points per game off the bench for the Cavs vs. the Toronto Raptors. Korver shot 58.3% from the field and 55% from three point range. When Korver comes off the bench, the Cavs need run plays through him. That’s how he gets going and when he is hot, he stays hot.
