Los Angeles Lakers vs. Boston Celtics CashBet Wagering Analysis

Robert Williams and Al Horford have formed a great wall of rim protection for the Celtics and they will be key to containing Anthony Davis. Dennis Schroeder is expected to have a good game and show the world that the Lakers made a mistake. Still, this rivalry will be relieved and we expect players’ competitive nature to come out and give fans a good matchup.

Lakers Finding the Right Combination

The problem with getting fresh talent for the team and just retaining three players from the previous season is getting them to work with each other. Anthony Davis is the best player on the team right as they are missing the services of LeBron James. Russell Westbrook has been struggling to be the player the Lakers want him to be. This team is on a slow burn and analysts are expecting them to keep it together by the NBA All-Star Weekend. So far, Carmelo Anthony has become a good source of offense for the team but some say that they are wasting the last miles on his NBA career.

Celtics with Too Much Pride

The Boston Celtics have been very inconsistent this season and it doesn’t help that Marcus Smart called out the top two players of the team. He said that Jayson Tatum and Jalen Brown are trying to outdo each other instead of working together. Nonetheless, the silver lining so far this season has been Al Horford getting a resurgence in his career while Dennis Schroeder is getting his confidence back. There are some distractions inside the Celtics locker room right now with Enes Kanter ranting out that the league wants him to go after airing out his beliefs. So many distractions that are hard to ignore.
