The week’s almost over, and Thursday delivers an NBA classic – Celtics vs. Lakers. Boston heads to LA with momentum, while the Lakers look to keep things rolling at home. My NBA betting tips say this matchup has all the makings of a game worth betting on.

The Celtics are -5 ATS, but can the Lakers defend their court? Let’s dig into these Celtics vs Lakers odds and see if LA can hang tough or if Boston continues to dominate.

 

Celtics vs Lakers Prediction

The Lakers have had their ups and downs this year, but you can expect them to give Boston a run for their money. Still, I’m calling it: Celtics 114, Lakers 108. We know the Lakers can make defensive stops when it matters, but I’m expecting the Celtics offense to overload yet another defense. With the Celtics jacking up 49 3-pointers per game, there’s only so much LA can do before Boston’s firepower takes over.

Celtics vs Lakers 3 Best NBA Player Props Today

1. Anthony Davis 23+ Points (-167)

The Celtics are missing two key big men, which gives C Anthony Davis a prime chance to shine. Even though he’s a game-time decision (per updated Celtics vs Lakers injuries), Davis is likely to play and dominate the offensive end. Coming off a 29-point performance in L.A.’s last home game, Davis could be the game-changer against the reigning champs. Your NBA player prop pick: Bet on Davis to score 23+ points tonight.

 

2. LeBron James to Record Double-Double (-110)

Boston missing their post-presence opens the door for SF LeBron James to dominate the paint – cleaning up second-chance points, attacking the rim, and kicking out to open shooters. Not to mention, James has posted two consecutive double-doubles and is set to rack up a third tonight. Bet online on James to record another double-double.

 

3. Derrick White Over 2.5 Threes (-122)

Celtics PG Derrick White may not be the star of Boston’s offense, but the Lakers’ defense will zero in on Brown and Tatum, giving White plenty of chances to knock down spot-up threes. He’s coming off a 20-point game with four 3-pointers against a tougher Clippers defense. So, what does that tell you? Bet on White to drain it from beyond the arc tonight.

Celtics vs Lakers Moneyline Pick

The Celtics might be running on fumes during this West Coast trip, but after battling the Clippers and handling business, I see no issues with them beating the Lakers at crypto.com Arena. Bet Boston on the money line. With PG Derrick White, SF Jayson Tatum, and SG Jaylen Brown fully healthy, LA’s defense is in trouble. The Lakers’ offense has shown flashes, but they can’t keep up with Boston’s 3-point marathon.

Celtics vs Lakers Spread Pick

From money line to spread, my answer doesn’t change – I’m riding with an NBA ATS pick on the Celtics to take care of the Lakers. LA might hang around early, but matching Boston’s league-leading 17.8 3-pointers per game? That’s a tall order. The Lakers barely average 12 makes from deep, and when this one slips away, their lack of shooting will seal the deal.

Bet Celtics ATS -5

 

Celtics vs Lakers Over/Under Pick

With the Celtics missing C Al Horford, PG Jrue Holiday, and C Kristaps Porzingis, tonight’s matchup could slow to a crawl. The Lakers might have an edge down low, but both teams prefer a slower-pace offense, avoiding fast breaks when possible. Bet on this one to surprise and hit the under at BetUS Sportsbook.
