The Lakers and Celtics both need a boost as basketball’s biggest rivalry renews

It hasn’t been the dream start to the season for either of the NBA’s premiere franchises. The Lakers have been dealing with injuries and fitting a lot of new pieces into place, while the Celtics are dodging rumours of roster turmoil and still trying to find their footing a month into the season. 

Both of these teams are coming off of losses head into Friday night, but nevertheless, it’s always a big matchup when the Lakers and Celtics go head-to-head no matter the circumstances.

With buzz that LeBron could be making his return to the Lakers lineup in this one, we’re grabbing the purple & gold to continue to troubles for Boston. Take the Lakers on the moneyline +110, and Jayson Tatum has been balling, take over 26.5 points.
