The Boston Celtics have unpleasantly surprised everyone with their performance in previous games. It’s time for the Celtics to make things right. It’s not out of the question that they can do it. After all, the Lakers are too dependent on the actions of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. If either one of them fails, the Lakers can’t expect to be successful.
There’s a good chance this game will be a blowout. After all, the Lakers have an entertaining game on the home court. In 3 of the last 4 games, the Lakers have scored at least 123 points on the court. We expect the game to be a high-scoring affair.
The Lakers broke their losing streak in a game against the Detroit Pistons (124-117). LeBron James made a huge contribution to the victory with 35 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
They lost only in the third quarter.
Before that, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Philadelphia 76ers (122-133), Toronto Raptors(113-162) and Cleveland Cavaliers (102-116).
The Lakers currently have 11 wins with 15 losses and are 12th in the Western Conference table.
Eastern leaders – Boston continues to collapse. The team suffered their second defeat in a row. That’s after three straight wins.
The Celtics lost on the road to the Golden State Warriors (107 123) and Los Angeles Clippers (93-113).
Last week was a disappointing one for the Eastern Conference leaders. In addition to Boston, its main rivals and pursuers, Milwaukee and Cleveland, also lost.
The Boston Celtics played 28 games this season with 21 wins and seven losses.
The Boston Celtics are averaging 120.3 points per game on average.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Los Angeles Lakers: Dennis Schröder – Patrick Beverley – Lonnie Walker IV – LeBron James – Anthony Davis.
Boston Celtics: Marcus Smart – Jaylen Brown – Robert Williams III -Jayson Tatum – Blake Griffin.
Cole Swider (Out), Juan Toscano-Anderson (Out), Wenyen Gabriel (Out), Anthony Davis (Day-to-day) and Lebron James (Day-to-day) are listed as injured for the Los Angeles Lakers.
