Boston at Los Angeles

The Boston Celtics have a lot to do in the second half of the season, and it will have to be done without Rajon Rondo, and Jered Sullinger, both lost for the season. The good news is that Boston has responded as they are 7-2 straight-up since Rondo went down, and 7-2 ATS. The Lakers are a team that keeps complaining about each other, and a lot of bad chemistry on a star-studded team that is below .500 on the season, and likely to be going home after game 82. The Lakers have been poor after a good offensive showing, having now gone 15-35-1 ATS in their last 51 after scoring 100+ in their previous game. The Celtics have fared well vs. the West, after covering last night in Denver, they are now 5-0 ATS in their last five against the West. Go with Boston.
