NBA Bets: Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers
This line seems a bit off. The Lakers at home against a Celtics’ team that is in the middle of a five-game road trip. It seems as though Boston should be bigger dogs when they visit the Staples’ Center and this could make one think.
Boston has split the first two games of this road trip and all of a sudden are back over .500. The Lakers continue to struggle going 4-6 in their last 10 games. These teams met once this season and it was a 22-point victory for the Celtics. This is not to say that Boston will run over the Lakers again but they could very well come out on top.
Jaylen Brown is questionable for Tuesday’s matchup. This might be alarming but Brown has missed the previous two games and the team is scoring 137.5 points per night to begin the road trip.
Also, Boston is defending. This is a team that is holding opponents to just 43.8% shooting from the floor. Los Angeles already struggles at times with consistency and the Celtics could be able to muck it up on Tuesday.

This is a strong spot to take the Celtics’ money line. They do not have to win by 22 points this time around. They have to win by one point. If you take the spread, they don’t even have to win the game. Right now, Boston seems like a more reliable bet than the Lakers.
Pick: Celtics +3
