Top Cappers News
The Lakers may lack depth at center, and their offense leans heavily on Luka Doncic and LeBron James, but they have found a rhythm defensively in recent weeks and know how to execute their game plan effectively.
Over their last nine games, Los Angeles has done an excellent job defending the perimeter, limiting opponents to just 31.2% shooting from beyond the arc. That will be critical against a Boston team that thrives on the three-point shot, leading the league in 3-point rate (.533) and ranking sixth in accuracy (37.2%).
When these teams met in January at Crypto.com Arena, the Celtics shot 14-for-41 from deep, but that was before Anthony Davis was traded to Dallas in exchange for Doncic. This time around, perimeter defense will be crucial for the Lakers, as slowing down Boston’s three-point attack is essential to keeping the game close.
While the Celtics boast a strong defensive unit, containing both Luka and LeBron for a full 48 minutes is a tough challenge. Expect Los Angeles to stay competitive and make this a hard-fought battle against the East’s top team. Take LA Lakers ATS
