Celtics hosting Heat: +145
Celtics have lost 6 straight.
Talk about major trade moves can only be quashed by
a convincing home win against the Heat.
Return to TD Garden of Ray Allen.
Celtics are 20-23, they were 23-20 last season at this point.
Celtics offense is a little poorer than last season at this point.
Celtics defense is a little better than last season at this point.
The Heat. Do they want Celtics roster blown up ? Or are they
confident they can beat this roster in the playoffs ?> I say
the latter, so it could be in the Heat's best interest to drop this game.
Decisions on trade moves are going to be made on this game.
PP is due to shoot high %. Rondo is due for a big game also.
Lakers hosting Thunder: +135
Lakers starting to gel.
Dwight Howard starting to show desire to win.
