The Boston Celtics had one of their best games when they last took on the Los Angeles Lakers. With positive output over his last five matches, Russell Westbrook looks like the difference-maker this time out against the Celtics.

The Celtics certainly don’t have the household names to compete with the Lakers, but they absolutely have the work ethic. They’ll want to emulate their previous success against the Lakers and that comes with a team effort.
Boston were able to weather the Lakers’ early storm last time out, but it was their role players who carried them through. While Jayson Tatum led them overall, the likes of Horford, Schroder, and Smart carried them through multiple phases of the game.
The Celtics have strength in depth, something that the Lakers have struggled with. If head coach Ime Udoka can get another solid night out of his bench unit, they could sweep the season series against their eternal rivals.

Look no further than the Boston Celtics’ young star Jayson Tatum for the key to their victory. In Boston’s last game against the Lakers, Tatum stole the show.
In Boston’s 22-point blowout win Tatum posted 27 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 steals on 50% shooting from the field. Tatum even hit 4 three-point field goals while going a perfect 7 of 7 from the free throw line.
Tatum started that last meeting off slowly, but quickly grew into the game. If the Celtics All-Star can be aggressive from the opening quarter, they can run away with the game again.
On their home court, the Los Angeles Lakers want to avenge their earlier season loss to the Boston Celtics. If the key to victory for the Lakers could be simply, they cannot fade.
The Lakers started off the first quarter of their recent loss to the Celtics strong, but as the game went on they couldn’t maintain their hot streak.
When it comes to beating the Celtics, the Lakers need to find production from their role players. Talen Horton-Tucker and Avery Bradley in particular need to be a factor, as the pair were a combined 2 of 10 the last time they played Boston.

The Los Angeles Lakers must avenge their recent blowout loss to the Boston Celtics. In their last meeting, Russell Westbrook was disappointed.
In his last game against the Celtics, it was Russell Westbrook who failed to make a positive enough impact for the Lakers. He posted 12 points, 6 assists, and 4 rebounds on just 5 of 13 shooting.
The Celtics are young and direct on both sides of the court. While shooting will never be his strong suit, Westbrook has all the pace and vision needed to empower his teammates. If the former Most Valuable Player can overcome Boston’s shot blockers, the Lakers would be well equipped to avenge their recent loss.
