Davis out for Celtics?

Big Baby Glen Davis will likely miss tonight's opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers because of an injury sustained in a fight

Apparently there is other key betting info in this game as the MasterLockLine is reporting that two superstar NBA handicappers agree on the side in this game.  Bill Tanner is the No. 1 college and NBA handicapper combined since 1995. He's from the basketball crazed state of Indiana and his Platinum Plays in hoops hit around 62 percent.  He also hits above 60 percent in college football with "Plats".   About a dozen years ago, he lapped dinosaur "Doc" as the top Big 10 handicapper in the land. His first Platinum Play of the NBA season agrees with Castlegate's Celtics/Cavaliers side. Details on this NBA betting info from the MasterLockLine.
