Joe Dellera previews how to bet Lakers vs. Celtics, including updated odds, picks & predictions for Saturday's primetime game.

The Lakers play at one of the fastest Paces in the league (102.37) and they also see an uptick in the first half with a spike to 104.55. They scored the second most points per game in the first half with 60.5 points per game and this number increases at home to 61.3. Boston should be able to score at will against this Lakers team and their first half team total is set below their season average in a Pace up spot. The content on this page is for informational purposes only. We may be compensated for the links provided on this page. James has carried this Lakers team as he sits on the precipice of history but it’s a welcome sight for Lakers fans to see Davis on the court. Additionally, the Lakers have risen to the challenge when playing tougher competition. Although they will miss their table-setter in Smart, they have plenty of other options such as Malcolm Brogdon and Derrick White, let alone Tatum and Brown. While they will be without Marcus Smart (ankle) today they have more than enough firepower to contend. Action Network makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the information given or the outcome of any game or event. He just recorded 21 points and 12 rebounds in 26.2 minutes against the Spurs in his return. Boston should be able to score at will against this Lakers team, especially with Anthony Davis playing limited minutes.
