The Lakers are moving to Boston to regain a positive record, after they have won 8 out of 16 games this season and still do not seem to have really found their rhythm. Defeated during their last meeting against the Bucks (109-102), they will have to win during this meeting to return to the top 8 against a Celtics team far from being in the best condition. Boston is indeed only 8th in the East with 7 wins in 15 games and is already 2 wins behind the Cavaliers, 8th. Watch this NBA fixture tonight at 1:30 am.

Boston Celtics: topicality and form
Boston has had a very complicated start to the season: too irregular, the Celtics have already experienced 8 defeats and are struggling to return to the Top 8 in the East. Defeated in their last game against the Hawks (110-99), the players of Ime Udoka have never won more than two consecutive games this season and are in difficulty in all areas of play: 18th attack in the NBA with 106.7 points scored on average per game, they are also the 16th defense and collect 106.4 points per game. It will therefore be necessary to present a completely different face against a team of the Lakers certainly far from being in a good dynamic, but all the same formidable and to hope to gain their 3rd victory at home only this season, on 6 meetings.
Los Angeles Lakers: news and form
The Lakers seem to have a dynamic quite similar to that of Boston: after a sluggish start to the season with only 2 wins in its first 5 games, the Los Angeles team seemed to raise the bar by winning 3 consecutive games, but has since remained on 3 defeats in 6 games, including 2 in their last 2 meetings. They also have clear difficulties away from home, with only 1 victory in 4 trips, and will want to do better in this meeting against Boston to return to the top 8 in the Western Conference and qualify directly for the playoffs at the end of season.
The Lakers seem to have better weapons to win this meeting and we could also see the return of LeBron James for this meeting, which would give a new impetus. Boston is too fickle at home and risks seeing its evening opponent win at TD Garden.

The two teams seem feverish in defense this season and we should thus attend a meeting centered around the offense, especially since the Lakers are the 9th attack in the league. 28th NBA defense, Los Angeles should give in to the Celtics’ attacks, but they too risk leaving feathers. An open meeting therefore seems quite possible.
