The Boston Celtics haven’t had the consistently successful season that they wanted. Though in their last outing against the Portland Trail Blazers, the Celtics showed they still have the right to take down some of the best in the league.
In their last game, the Celtics were able to take down the Trail Blazers despite trailing for the first three-quarters of the game.
Despite some recent criticism and health struggles, it was All-Star Jayson Tatum that helped them close the game. Scoring eight of his 32 points in the fourth quarter, Tatum showed that he can close a game should the Celtics keep it close enough.

Perennial All-Star Kemba Walker hasn’t had one of his better seasons, but in his last game, he showed that he can still contribute on all levels of the court.
Against the Blazers, Walker posted 21 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists on 41.4% shooting from the field.
He’s been hot and cold from the field this season, but as a constant scoring threat, he is due to erupt at any time. To take down the Lakers, Walker needs to score efficiently from the field.
The Los Angeles Lakers already have some issues on the offensive side of the ball. However, against the Celtics, they’ll need to tighten up the defensive screws as well.
With Drummond on the court, the Lakers are lacking when it comes to closing out on shooters. Their opponents usually play a five-out offense, as they can be devastating from range.
If the Lakers centers can’t keep up on the defensive end, they’ll be in for a high-scoring affair. Something they might struggle with, considering James and Davis are unavailable.

The Los Angeles Lakers have a more than solid center rotation with Andre Drummond, Marc Gasol, and Montrezl Harrell. It is Harrell who can make the difference in this game against the small Celtics lineup.
In his last game, Harrell posted a modest six points and five rebounds. The offence rarely runs for him, but his work rate on the glass can be game-changing for the Lakers.
Simply put, the Celtics struggle when they are outrebounded. If Harrell can put in a good shift on the boards, he can turn the game in the Lakers’ favor.
