When the Lakers brought Anthony Davis into the fold with LeBron James, it appeared they had a lethal duo that would win them a lot of games. That has not materialized, as both have spent a lot of time off the court dealing with injuries. The Lakers are among the worst defenses in the NBA and recently the trend has been strengthening. LA has allowed a woeful 137 PPG in their last four, and has played seven straight games OVER the total. They've allowed five of those seven teams to shoot 50% or better. The Lakers can score, putting up 116 or more points in six straight games, and Boston is averaging 122 PPG at home this season. Play this one OVER the total.
