The NBA’s premier historical rivalry takes centerstage Tuesday night for the final time during 2021-22 as the Boston Celtics make their return trip to the
Staples Center

The final score was 130-108 and featured a 37-point outburst from Jayson Tatum as well as 20+ point efforts from Marcus Smart and Dennis Schroder.

Celtics vs. Lakers prediction
How much should we base this matchup on the first meeting between these two teams? Well, Boston could be once again without Jaylen Brown, who is questionable with a hamstring issue that has been plaguing him since the beginning of November.
The Cs will have all of their other key pieces, including Robert Williams, who was absent the first go-round, and Al Horford and Romeo Langford, who are dealing with back and ankle issues, respectively.
HH isn’t confident enough to take the free points or guarantee an upset here. We do feel confident in is both of these teams reaching the over for the second straight time in 2021-22, though.
