Cleveland Cavaliers at Dallas Mavericks
Cavs take on the Mavs in the with 18-point home loss revenge on their minds tonight. With Dallas in off a visit at Utah last night (99 - 90 Utah won), and looking ahead to a revenger with Atlanta here Saturday evening, Cleveland seems a good opportunity tonight!
Go Cleveland (+7)!
Good luck!
Boston Celtics at Seattle Supersonics
Allen had been with Seattle since mid 2002-03 but the Sonics made the playoffs just once in Allen's time with the club. After securing the No. 2 overall selection in June's draft (Kevin Durant), the Sonics began their rebuilding process by trading Allen to Boston on draft night. That trade convinced Kevin Garnett, who spent the first 12 seasons of his career with Minnesota, that the Celtics were committed to building a contender. Garnett joined Allen and Boston mainstay Paul Pierce in July. The new-look Celtics have jelled faster than expected, opening the season with just the fourth 23-3 start in franchise history to claim the league's best record. Allen is scoring 19.3 points per game (his lowest average since the lockout-shortened 1998-99 season) but the 12-year veteran is enjoying unprecedented team success. Meanwhile, the young Sonics (8-20) have stumbled out of the gate. Durant leads all rookies with 20 PPG but he's shooting just 40.5 percent from the field, the lowest mark among players that rank among the league's top 10 in shots attempted. Seattle lost its first seven home games TY but have won four of their last six at KeyArena. Meanwhile, the Celtics own a league-best 9-2 road record. Allen had a team-high 17 points as Boston beat Sacramento 89-69 in the opener of its four-game trip against Western Conference teams on Wednesday. Amazingly, the Celtics can match their win total from last season with a victory in Seattle tonight and they should win with "room to spare!".
Boston had a 13-point third quarter last night but still scored 89 points. Expect an offensive show in Ray Allen's return to the Emerald City. Sonics were held to 79 in their Christmas Night loss at Portland so will better that number here in an up and down game. BOSTON is 18-3 OVER against Northwest division opponents over the last 3 seasons. SEATTLE is 17-6 OVER in home games in December games over the last 3 seasons.
Expecting Boston to WIN;
OVER!
Good luck!
