Moving Today's Market

King James and his court head for Beantown tonight for a clash with future Hall of Famers Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce. Lebron plays with 11 future non-Hall of Famers, but his mere presence is usually good enough to keep games close—and always entertaining. At the very least, he emerged intact from the Mixed Martial Arts strategy employed against him by the Washington Wheezers. The Celtics are 10-point home favorites in this one.

Out on the Best Coast, the Flaming-Hot Dodgers, winners of 9 out of their last 10, play host to the New York Mets. The Dodger organization is finally changing the guard with an uncharacteristic youth movement, under the sage guidance of Joe Torre. Andre Ethier, Matt Kemp, James Loney, Russ Martin and Chad Billingsley are rising stars getting much-deserved playing time and its paying big dividends in Hollywoodland. The pitching match-up tonight is Figueroa vs. Kuroda, with the boys in blue installed as  –140 favorites.
