[TODD DEWEY Review-Journal, 33-22-1 (overall record)]
Today’s best bet: BOSTON CELTICS (-51/2) over Denver Nuggets
Boston’s P.G.A. Tour (Pierce, Garnett, Allen) has helped the Celtics win, and cover, their first two games while Denver has failed to cover its last three, including Tuesday’s 119-112 loss at New York. Look for the well-rested Celts to feed off their home crowd and cruise past a Nuggets team playing its fourth game in six nights.
