Los Angeles Lakers at Boston Celtics Pick

Given the fact Boston is prone to be overvalued in light of their recent supremacy, swallowing the points may pose to be a risky venture. However, the opposite may actually be the case be that initial line movements suggest that the Lakers are viewed as a commodity in this market. An assumption here is that a rivalry of this nature can yield the unexpected. However, Boston has dominated as of late. In addition, the Lakers are travelling 3,000 miles across three time zones to face off with the Celtics in a notoriously hostile environment. They will also have to render the fact that they will have to take on the league’s best scoring defense (94.5 ppg) while dealing with the aforementioned external factors. This in itself sets up the Lakers to be a quality fade opportunity.
