SAD NEWS: Three 3 Boston Celtics To Miss Their Match Against Lakers Due To…
As Christmas approaches, the NBA has released a thrilling schedule of games for the public to enjoy. Later tonight, a number of title contenders will play each other, including the Heat vs. Sixers, Suns vs. Mavs, and Nuggets vs. Warriors. The most exciting of the group, though, is the Lakers vs. Celtics game, which looks to be a fiercely competitive and exciting contest.
The Lakers vs. Celtics game at the Crypto.com Centre in Los Angeles is set to take off at 5:00 PM, Eastern Time. The Lakers will play on Christmas Day for the 25th time in a row. The Lakers’ lacklustre play in the aftermath of their NBA Cup victory has caused them to miss out on a sure postseason berth. On the other hand, the league’s best team lately has been the Celtics. With 21 victories and 6 defeats, they are presently ranked #1 in the Eastern Conference standings.
The Celtics, meanwhile, are facing some injury problems. For tonight’s game, the Celtics have classified Lamar Stevens (non-COVID sickness), Svi Mykhailiuk (left heel contusion), and Kristaps Porziņģis (ankle) as doubtful. Conversely, the Lakers are far more concerned about injuries. LeBron James (ankle), Anthony Davis (bone bruise/ankle sprain), and Cam Reddish (groyne discomfort) are all classified as doubtful for the game against the Celtics.
Derrick White, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Jrue Holiday, and Neemias Queta are possible starting lineup players for the Celtics. LeBron and AD, two superstars, would probably play against Boston even though the Lakers had categorised them as doubtful. LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Cam Reddish, D’Angelo Russell, and Taurean Prince could start the game.
Lakers vs Celtics: Predictions
Vegas bettors have projected a close game despite the Lakers’ dismal recent performance.The Celtics are the game’s modest favourites, according to BetMGM Sportsbook, to win by two points.

Fans shouldn’t undervalue the Lakers, despite the fact that bookies have the Celtics as the favourites. Never undervalue a squad that has guys like Anthony Davis and LeBron James on it. But the Celtics haven’t exactly failed this season, and it’s difficult to overlook a Celtics triumph. Who is going to prevail in this match? Inform.
