Eastern heavyweights collide as Cavs visit Celtics

Basketball Betting Lines

02/25/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The NBA has a light schedule Thursday, but one contest is a matchup of Eastern Conference heavyweights. LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers will mosey into Boston tonight to take on the Celtics at TD Garden and hope to end a two-game road losing streak.

The Cavaliers put a season-high three-game slide to rest with Tuesday's 105-95 home triumph over the New Orleans Hornets at Quicken Loans Arena, as James notched his 23rd double-double of the season with 20 points, a game-high 13 assists, five rebounds and two steals. James is second in the league with 29.8 ppg. Shaquille O'Neal ended with 20 points and is averaging 15.7 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.4 blocks over his last 16 games.

"Obviously the 29 assists to the eight turnovers was big for us...we got pretty balanced scoring across the board. Shaq was big for us and LeBron obviously found his teammates quite often tonight to get 13 assists," said Cavs coach Mike Brown.

Cleveland has the NBA's best record at 44-14 and is 18-6 in 2010, which is tied with the Utah Jazz for the best mark in that period. The Central Division-leading Cavs, who are 19-10 as the guest, will also visit Toronto and have won 10 of their last 14 road games.

Boston will have a tough time pulling out a win this evening without star guard Paul Pierce, who will miss the game because of a sore right thumb. Pierce is also dealing with flu-like symptoms for the Celtics, who opened a three-game homestand with a 110-106 victory versus the New York Knicks on Tuesday. Pierce missed the game and Ray Allen handled the load with 24 points in Boston's seventh victory in the past 10 tries.

"I think at this point Ray Allen is letting a lot of things come to him. He has been shooting lights out," said Celtics center Kevin Garnett. "With Paul out he has taken the initiative to be a more offensive threat. He knows a lot of sets when we call for him. He's aggressive, I am just glad that he is playing in a nice rhythm."

Rajon Rondo contributed 15 points and 16 assists for the Atlantic Division- leading Celtics, who bounced back from a loss at Denver on Sunday and got 16 points, eight rebounds and six assists from Garnett. Boston will close out the residency versus the New Jersey Nets on Saturday and is 16-9 at home.

The Celtics opened the 2009-10 season with a 95-89 victory at Cleveland on October 27, as Pierce scored 23 points and pulled down 11 rebounds. Boston has won five straight at home during the regular season against Cleveland, and all four meetings at TD Garden in the 2008 East semifinals.

James owns a career average of 30.2 ppg against the Celtics, while Michael Jordan is the only player in league history with a higher mark at 30.7.
