On deck: Celtics, Rams, P-Bruins on the road

The Boston Celtics shouldn't be battling for first place in their division.

But in the Eastern Conference's woeful Atlantic Division, 10 wins and 16 losses puts a team one game out of first place.

Coming off their third loss in a row last night, the Celtics hope to improve their record to 11-16 against the Los Angeles Clippers in California tonight. And from Boston's perspective, this is a good time to be playing the Clippers, who are in the midst of a slump of their own, having lost seven out of their last eight games.

Boston is still without leading scorer Paul Pierce, who's expected to miss another two to three weeks with a foot injury.

Tip off is scheduled for 10:30 p.m.

If you'd prefer to watch a basketball team with a winning record tonight, the University of Rhode Island men's club faces Ohio University at 7 p.m. in Athens. URI has seven wins and five losses so far this year. Ohio is 7-3.

Not a basketball fan?

The Providence Bruins take on the Norfolk Admirals tonight in Virginia at 7:15. The teams are in fourth and third place in their respective divisions.
