Time to buckle up for two potentially classic NBA games in
the making. The Utah Jazz host the L.A. Lakers, and the Boston Celtics are on
the road at Cleveland. It's elimination night for the Jazz and Cavs if either
squad comes up short. If either team wins, they'll force a Game 7 in their
opponents' house.
The Jazz find themselves lukewarm favorites tonight (-3.5).
Deron Williams has battled like a warrior throughout the series, while Carlos
Boozer has shown flashes of brilliance. They've had to contend with the best
player in the known stratosphere, Kobe, and a peaking Lamar Odom, who found his
best stride as a Laker when Pau Gasol joined the team. The pressure is on the
boys from the Latter Day state.
Oddsmakers have made the Cleveland Cavaliers a slightly
shakier (-2.5 point) favorite in their home tilt against the Celtics. It's been
easy to predict when the Celtics show up for their games—when they play at
home. They're in Cleveland tonight.
