Boston at Los Angeles

February 22, 2026

6:30 PM Eastern

Look for Lakers pride to step up here. Not only do the Lakers have revenge for an embarrassing, 126-105, road loss to Boston on Dec. 5 when they were missing Luka Doncic, LeBron James and former Celtic Marcus Smart, but the franchise will be honoring former coach Pat Riley unveiling his statue outside Crypto.com Arena. Finally back to full strength, the Lakers are showing good ball movement while scoring 125 and 124 points, respectively, in home wins against the Clippers and Mavericks during their past two games. The Lakers average 118 points at home and lead the NBA in field goal percentage at 50%, which goes up to 51% at home. Doncic is the NBA scoring leader at 33 points a game. Boston is having a remarkable season without Jayson Tatum. The Celtics (36-19) are two games better than the Lakers (34-21). However, they play in the easier Eastern Conference. Take the Lakers on the money line.

Los Angeles at Boston

February 1, 2024

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.
