A Los Angeles Lakers team with both Lebron James and Anthony Davis in the lineup defeated Boston 96-95 back on Jan 30. Now the Lakers will have to do without their two biggest stars, and I like the Celtics to get their revenge tonight.

The Celtics are hot, winning six of their last seven games, the only loss to Philadelphia on April 6. Celtics are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games while the Lakers are only 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games.

Additionally, note that the Lakers are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and I expect a hungry Celtics side to feast on the shorthanded Lakers that might not only be without Lebron and A.D, but Marc Gasol and Markieff Morris are at risk of missing this one as well.

I also like the under as Boston has the defensive grit to shut down a Lakers team lacking firepower at the moment.

8* play on UNDER.
