Miami won 20 of last 21 home games; they swept Nets during the regular season, winning by 23,25,10 points. Jefferson is expected to try and play at some point in series.

    Philadelphia @ Detroit-- Larry Brown against his former team, which won eight of last ten games, and is 5-3 in its last eight on road. After losing first three games against Pistons by 8,4,18 points, Sixers won 107-84 last time they met. Detroit rolled down stretch, winning ten in row at one point. Can Webber take scoring load off Iverson? Average series total was 185.8.

    Indiana @ Boston-- Larry Bird's team vs Celtics. Hmm. Pacers overcame tumultuous regular season to make the playoffs; they finally have their team back (except Artest) but still lost four of last seven games. Celtics were 27-15 in last 42 games, after being 13-16 at one point; they're 5-1 in last six on road, but lost two of three vs Pacers, losing by 6,10; winning 100-86 in last meeting.

    Wizards @ Bulls- both made playoffs for first time since the Jordan days; home side won all three series games, with Wiz losing by 7,11 in DC, winning 97-90 at home.

      CBS power rankings:

      1 Los Angeles Dodgers
      Have major-league-leading .364 on-base percentage. The pupil (Paul DePodesta) is better than the teacher/preacher (Billy Beane).
      2 Boston Red Sox
      Curt Schilling doesn't look completely like himself yet, but red-hot Manny Ramirez sure does.
      3 Chicago White Sox
      So, did Mark Buehrle cheat fans or give them their money's worth with his 90-minute outing Saturday?
      4 St. Louis Cardinals
      They have the third-best winning percentage right now -- with a .231 team batting average. Wait until they get hot.
      5 Minnesota Twins
      They have to stop losing to the White Sox (1-3), who look like they are the ones with the better pitching-and-defense mix right now.
      6 Atlanta Braves
      Tim Hudson has gotten only three runs of support through his 22 innings. Not a way to welcome the new guy.
      7 Florida Marlins
      Their 1.79 team ERA through Monday tops baseball by more than a run, leading the Astros' more human-like 2.99.
      8 Philadelphia Phillies
      Their offense has cooled -- playing the Marlins and Braves will do that -- but rotation has a 3.27 ERA and the staff has issued a league-low 15 walks in 13 games.
      9 Baltimore Orioles
      Brian Roberts looks like a breakthrough candidate, leading the AL with a .434 average through Monday.
      10 Toronto Blue Jays
      Cooled off some after hot start, but with the Nationals getting so much love, we didn't want Canada's lone remaining team to feel forgotten.
      11 Oakland Athletics
      Only the Royals have scored fewer runs than the A's, whose 29 extra-base hits are tied for worst in baseball right now.
      12 Anaheim Angels
      Dallas McPherson is back up and the team as a whole should get healthy on seven-game homestand this week.
      13 Cincinnati Reds
      Pitching staff has given up a major-league-leading 21 homers thus far.
      14 Chicago Cubs
      Kerry Wood's struggles have to be frustrating (winless in three starts with a 6.38 earned run average).
      15 New York Yankees
      Only the Rockies have given up more runs -- 90 to 85. Apparently a $100 million pitching staff doesn't get you so far these days.
      16 Washington Nationals
      A real American Dream? They're just happy to have a place they are proud to call home.
      17 Cleveland Indians
      This lineup should not have the major's worst batting average (.220) all season.
      18 Detroit Tigers
      This team needed Magglio Ordonez to be considered a real contender, although they are 3-0 since he went on the DL.
      19 Arizona Diamondbacks
      Road win Monday night was the team's first in 10 games, dating back to last season.
      20 San Diego Padres
      Khalil Greene's loss figures to hurt more than Dave Roberts' return helps.
      21 San Francisco Giants
      Their .295 team batting average is the best in baseball, but their team ERA is only better than the Devil Rays and Rockies.
      22 New York Mets
      Sure they had won six straight (5-1 at home), but most of those wins could have gone either way.
      23 Texas Rangers
      Things would look a whole lot better if not for an AL-worst five blown saves.
      24 Houston Astros
      They have scored just one run in Roger Clemens' 21 innings this season; that's about enough to make a man retire.
      25 Seattle Mariners
      Here's an interesting one: Which will be higher this season -- Ichiro's average or the M's winning percentage?
      26 Milwaukee Brewers
      After opening with three wins, all on the road, the Brewers lose seven of nine.
      27 Tampa Bay Devil Rays
      Just when you think you have the Yankees right where you want them ...
      28 Pittsburgh Pirates
      Their totals of seven homers and 38 runs are both worst in the majors. At least Oliver Perez can ... OK, get back to us.
      29 Kansas City Royals
      Team that lost 104 games in '04 and cut $11 million in payroll is 1-6 in its first homestand, scoring more than two runs only once while batting .202.
      30 Colorado Rockies
      Have lost 19 of 22 dating back to last season. At least Clint Barmes is promising.
