The Celtics should be plenty motivated here to avoid a 3 game home losing streak. This will be the 4th straight road for the Clippers in 6 days. Another reason I think we get a huge effort from Boston is for the fact this is their last game before All Star break.

I like these type of games in the NBA where a team that just recently lost to a bad team get their chance or revenge right away. The Pistons were a hot team for a little bit with they got Griffin. Just two games ago they were beat by the Hawks @ Atlanta. Atlanta played last night in a hard fought game and covered vs the Bucks. I think the Pistons take some anger out here and blow them out

The Bulls do get everyone back tonight except Dunn so I think that helps them a lot. Also I believe the Magic will struggle on the road without their best player in Gordon

Utah is one of the hottest teams in the league right now winning 7 straight games, but they made a huge splash yesterday before the trade deadline. With them shopping their best true scorer in Hood after playing so well I can see this having a negative impact on the team.

Wade may not play tonight and even if he doesnt that is fine but I think he will bring enough energy for the Heat here tonight.
