CLE - 1.5, Boston - 3

[PorkChop]

Tough games tonight boys!

First glance these 2 picks look great,...but CLEV will be without LeBron, Mo Williams, and Big Z, while this is a must win for Philly. The only thing going for Cleveland is to tie the all time record for most home wins.

Thoughts?

Boston - 3,

Washington is absolutely dreadful, however Boston is coming off a tough win last night, in Philly, and will be resting Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and KG tonight.
Having said that, im still leaning towards Boston -3 , at home, against the horrid Wizards.

Thoughts?

I agree these games don't mean anything but I just don't see solid teams losing even with their bench at home. Both teams have enough bench power along with crowd to push a win.

I think anybody who tries to cap a game when a team is playing w/o its three top players(and they have never all been missing at the same time before) is throwing money away. Im not putting my money on a game where Wally serb has the ball in his hands to take the shot for the win.

if i had to pick one, ...it'd be Boston. simply because how poor Washington is.

jamison not playing (leads in score), boston will roll. line -4.5 already pounding on it! Boston Bench much better than Wiz Bench (their only good player is Butler but he sux on road)

I don't think Cleveland has EVER won a game without Lebron since he was drafted...

This is like betting on the last week of the NFL.....trouble. Between the two I'd go with BOS, but there are better games out there to bet on.

You've got to like Philly here don't you? They've at least got some incentive. Mike Brown has made it crystal clear he doesn't care about the home court record.

It's not the strongest play on the board but I'd lean Philly.
