Why the difference between Favors and Plumlee?

Saw a Celtics team without 2 of its best put together a balanced, strong effort against a hapless Cleveland team last night. Perhaps my long beloved Celtics are finally finding the consistency they need. I will be there when the verdict is revealed on Saturday night.
Friday, Jan. 25:
For whatever reason, Raptors have shown a bit of slippage lately. To play against the hirsute one in his home arena will be a tough test. Houston by 8
Saturday, Jan. 26:
For us Celtics fans this is the regular season game of the year. Irving (flu-like symptoms) and Horford (rest) sat out Wednesday, so they should be ready for some long minutes. TD Garden will be loud. This pick is with my heart as much as my head. Boston by 4
Sunday, Jan. 27:
The size of Steven Adams might be enough to force Antetekoumpo back to the perimeter, but the Greek is effective from there. Problem for the Bucks is the rest of the Thunder. Oklahoma City by 9
Monday, Jan. 28:
Pacers have lost for the season perhaps their best player, Victor Oladipo, to a ruptured quad tendon. They will still be good, but will lack the "finisher" they need against the better teams. Not good when you are facing the best of the West. Golden State by 12 SLAM
Hawks have not been in an obvious tank mode, but with current assets they are far from competitive. Clippers play hard, although they lack the big name players that others have. Los Angeles (non-purple version) by 15 SLAM
