Celtics @ Lakers

What will be the GAME RESULT?

Celtics: Win or Single Digit Loss

@ Lakers: Win By Double Digits

 

Current odds:

Boston Celtics: (+240)

Los Angeles Lakers: (+240)

 

• The spread for the game is Los Angeles by 7 points.

• Boston’s 127-117 win at Minnesota on Friday came without All-Star point guard Kemba Walker, who recently received an injection in his ailing knee and had it drained. Gordon Hayward picked up plenty of the slack with 29 points while Daniel Theis broke out for career highs of 25 points and 16 rebounds. “The strength of our team is just the amount of guys that can go off at any point in time, especially when you’re making the right plays and getting easy looks,” Hayward told reporters. “We’re too talented. We just need to continue to do that.”

• Davis’ effort Friday night, which also included 13 rebounds, was made even more special due to the fact that he suffered a bruised calf early in the contest that limited him to 31 minutes. “The leg felt good enough for me to go out and give it a try,” he told the media. “I just wanted to be on the floor to help the guys.” LeBron James, who was held to 15 points in the earlier loss to the Celtics, scored 32 points against the Grizzlies.

• Lakers PG Avery Bradley averages 8.7 points but has reached double digits in five consecutive contests.
