Game Preview
On February 1, the Boston Celtics (37-11) take on the Los Angeles Lakers (24-25) at TD Garden.
The Boston Celtics, who have won 8 of their past ten games overall, are in scorching form. They will be determined to win three straight after edging the Pacers 129-124 in their last game. With 30 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists, Jayson Tatum headed the way for the squad. Jaylen Brown followed with 25 points, and Derrick White finished with 24 points and 5 assists. The Celtics rushed out of the gates, scoring 45 points in the 2nd quarter to take a 20-point lead. With 16.1 seconds remaining in the game, they held off a late rally by the Pacers, who cut the deficit to just 3 points. As a team, they struck 54% from the field and 17 of 36 from the 3-point line. After this game, the Grizzlies and Celtics will play.
Due to their recent string of injuries, the Lakers may be without 4 players for this game. Gabe Vincent and Cam Reddish have both been ruled out once more. Again classified as “Questionable,” LeBron James and Anthony Davis are dealing with Achilles and ankle problems, respectively. When you combine this with the team’s inconsistent play, the 17-time NBA champions may have yet another difficult game. The Lakers have dropped their last 2 games and are currently on a 6-game road trip. Their most recent game against the Hawks ended in a 138-122 loss. In that game, leading the squad in scoring with 28 points and 6 assists was Austin Reaves; LeBron James followed with 20 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists; and Rui Hachimura scored 16 points off the bench. They had now conceded more than 130 points in 4 consecutive games. Darvin Ham’s team is currently one game below .500 after losing 17 of their last 24 away games.
