Game Preview

Saturday night’s matchup will be the second time this season the two teams have met and the 298th meeting between the two franchises all-time. The Celtics are 164-133 all-time in the regular season against the Lakers, but the teams have split their 10 most recent matchups. They met on Dec. 13 in Los Angeles, and Tatum had 44 points to lead Boston to a 122-118 win in overtime. James finished with 33 points, nine rebounds and nine assists in that contest. The Celtics have dropped three straight games coming into the rematch after losing Thursday to the Knicks. They have been missing starting point guard Marcus Smart (ankle), who is listed as out for this contest as well. In their most recent game, the Lakers beat the Spurs in San Antonio, getting a boost from the return of Anthony Davis from a foot injury and the arrival of Rui Hachimura in a trade from Washington. The over is 8-2 in the last 10 matchups between these teams and the Celtics have gone 6-1-1 against the spread in the last eight head-to-head matchups.
