On the eve of their landmark game against Boston, the Los Angeles Lakers picked up a crucial away win over Oklahoma, the second team in the Western Conference. The team was coming into this game with four straight losses, so this success was important from a tournament standpoint and a psychological point of view. In addition, the victory was very convincing - 129:120. LeBron James scored 40 points, and Anthony Davis had 26 points and 11 rebounds.
The Lakes are ninth in the Western standings - 2.5 wins away from the top-6, the zone of direct entry into the playoffs.
Boston Celtics
The Celtics have a much better tournament situation, as the team goes 22-6 and leads the Eastern Conference. There is no doubt at all that Boston will end up playing in the playoffs. Moreover, the Greens could compete for even the conference's first seed.
In the last game, Boston once again proved its top class by defeating the Los Angeles Clippers, one of the current hottest teams in the league. 145:108 - Jayson Tatum was the highest scorer for the Celtics with 30 points. It should be noted that Kristaps Porzingis did not take part in the game.
Expert Betting Tips
The Lakers are healthy in key games and have already become the first-ever winner of the NBA intra-season tournament in this championship. Against Boston, LeBron James and company can again show their best qualities. However, it's far from certain that this will help the Lakers win - the Celtics are too good this season and find an answer in almost any situation. We're betting on Boston here and expecting high efficiency - the Celtics' offense is extremely hard to stop.
