Make sure you start the Knicks' Jamal Crawford against the Hawks on Sunday, as the matchup versus Mike Bibby has proven to be a good one for opposing point guards this season. Crawford is averaging 22.8 points and 5.2 assists over his past five games, and should face less resistance running the point against the Hawks than he did as the shooting guard in previous matchups. After all, Bibby is no Joe Johnson on defense. To be honest, I have no idea what to think about the matchup between the Heat and the Celtics. The Heat have been so awful lately that it is hard to imagine the Celtics' starters actually getting to play enough minutes to put up decent numbers. For Miami, though, one must be a little intrigued by Ricky Davis. In the one game Davis started against the Celtics this season, the Heat were at full strength and he put up 20 points against the Celtics' tough defense. It's not a safe bet to start him this time, as he's probably more likely to have a bad game than a good one. But this game has all the makings of a trap game for the Celtics, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Davis put up some decent numbers against his old team, even as the Heat lose. While I have no idea how the Mavericks are going to keep up with the Warriors on Sunday (remember, the Mavs lost by 13 to the Nuggets recently on a night in which Josh Howard scored 30 points), I would expect Jason Terry to play bigger minutes than he has of late. Over his past 10 games, Terry is averaging fewer than 24 minutes per game, and as a result he's scoring only 11.8 points per game over that stretch. However, Terry is the only guy Dallas has who can keep up with the likes of Baron Davis and Monta Ellis now that Devin Harris isn't on the team anymore. If Terry can get minutes against the Warriors, I think he can put up some pretty big numbers. He's had only one 30-point effort this year, but don't be surprised to see him post his second one Sunday. I'm a little worried about recommending the Sonics' Kevin Durant when it's possible he'll be covered by the Kings' Ron Artest for long stretches of the game, but Durant is averaging 21.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists in three games against the Kings this year, so we know he can score it and be productive. What's more, Durant put up those numbers on 41-percent shooting from the floor, and he has been far more efficient of late, shooting 54 percent over his past 10 games.
