THE RUB
The return of Kyrie (shoulder) to Boston won’t happen tonight due to injury, but his replacement is stealing all the show anyway.
Dinwiddie has led the Nets to a 5-1 record since Kyrie went down, and capped a 23-point performance with a jumper with 1.9 seconds left to defeat Cleveland 108-106 last time out.
The Celtics haven’t bee troubled by Irving’s absence, pushing out a 12-4 record after a 103-102 win over Sacramento on Monday, without Kemba Waker (neck), who is expected back tonight.
Celtics are the form team.

Anthony Davis can count on a lot of jeers in his return to New Orleans. Davis spent his first seven seasons with the Pelicans but forced a trade, landing in LA in a massive trade.
The Lakers, with a league best 15-2 record, will be looking to stretch their streak to 9 against a New Orleans squad that has yet to have their No. 1 overall pick Zion on the floor due to preseason knee surgery.

THE RUB
Portland have played more road games (13) than any other team, and now they can finally enjoy a solid stretch of home games tonight. The Blazers completed a 2-4 road trip with a 117-94 win at Chicago on Monday and they hope the rout can give some momentum for the same play at home, where they are just 1-4.
Carmelo had his best game since signing with Portland with 25 points as the team posted its most lopsided win of the season.
OKC opened their current 2-game road trip with a 100-97 victory at Golden State on Monday.
OUR PICK – Portland WIN

THE RUB
Chicago was on cloud nine after Zach LaVine set a franchise record with 13 3-pointers and scored 49 points in a 116-115 win at Charlotte on Saturday but the swagger did not continue as the Bulls went 9-of-39 from 3-point range in a 117-94 home loss to Portland on Monday.
The Warriors are showing some fight, but it has yet to result in wins, their latest disappointment a 100-97 home loss to Oklahoma City.
Golden State had just 8 players available against the Thunder, none of which were members of the team that went to the NBA Finals last season, but they still managed to push OKC before falling for the 10th time in 11 games.
OUR PICK – Under 216.5
