This is a huge revenge game for Boston, which lost to the Lakers in the first meeting when Rajon Rondo hit a 20-footer at the buzzer. That was one of the few highlights of the Lakers' disappointing season and they now are 26-37-2 ATS and have lost four in a row without covering in any of them. Los Angeles lost 115-99 to Denver on Wednesday and was once down by 23 points before running out of gas. LeBron James surpassed Michael Jordan in career points for the only bright spot for the Lakers. The Celtics come off two big road wins against Golden State and Sacramento and now have won three of their last four following a rough stretch in late February. The Lakers still are dealing with numerous injuries and they are 6-20-1 ATS their last 27 games against Eastern Conference teams and 3-7-1 ATS their last 11 home contests. Take the Celtics
