Sonics-Cavaliers
Seattle Post Intelligencer
The Sonics are having a rough road trip heading into tonight’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, primarily because of the absence of Ray Allen. That might be a temporary condition as the bone bruise in Allen’s right ankle is healing and he could be back for the Dec. 23 game against the Toronto Raptors, coach Bob Hill said. Allen has missed the past five games with a bruise of the talus bone, the humped-shaped bone just above the ankle. The Sonics enter tonight 3-2 without Allen, but have lost two consecutive games.
76ers-Mavericks
Philadelphia Inquirer
With the imminent departure of Iverson, it’s safe to assume the Sixers’ points per game will be decreasing. They have averaged 85.5 points since he was sent into exile by Billy King and Maurice Cheeks, including their three lowest point totals of the season against the Trail Blazers (79), Celtics (81) and Magic (84). 11.9 is the average points by which the Sixers have been outscored during their nine-game losing streak.
Rockets-Lakers
Associated Press
Rockets guard Tracy McGrady missed his second game with back spasms and is doubtful to play tonight against the Lakers.
