Los Angeles at Boston

The Los Angeles lakers are coming off a huge loss at Washington where the deficit was 16 points. That positions them in a historically strong spot as they take the floor vs. their long time rival Boston Celtics. Teams that are playing on the road that average 103 points per game or more, and are off a loss of 15 points or more, have vindicated themselves very well to go 150-90-4 ATS over the last 18 years. Boston needed overtime to slip past Detroit in their last game, and this is a team that has won back-to-back games just once since last April. The Lakers are 6-1 ATS on the road vs. a team with a losing road record, have the closer on the floor in Kobe Bryant, and that is the difference maker down the stretch of an anticipated close game. Grab the points on the Lakers.
