Moving Today's Market

Boston, Cleveland and Utah, up 3-2 in their opening round NBA playoff match-ups, will try to close out their series tonight.

The question of the day has to be whether King James can prevail against the slings, arrows and blows of the NBA's new fight club, the Washington Wizards.

Truth is, the King is surrounded by a notably weak court, and the Wizards' surly cast of characters is giving the Cavs everything they can handle. The Cavs are three-point road underdogs.

Keep your fingers crossed that this one goes to seven games. That game would be fun to watch.

The Celtics brought the Hawks crashing down to Earth in a fairly easy Game 5 win. Atlanta's home crowd hopes to have something to say about the outcome in Game 6. Boston is the 8.5-point choice in this one.

In the game that seems to be garnering the most wagering action, the Utah Jazz are 7.5-point home favorites to send Houston packing for the summer.
