The Boston Celtics head to crypto.com Arena to face the Los Angeles Lakers in a non-conference matchup. The Celtics are 30-13, which puts them in second place in the Eastern Conference. The Lakers are 23-18, which puts them in sixth place in the Western Conference.

The Boston Celtics recently had a back-to-back in Los Angeles. They overcame the Los Angeles Clippers but fell to the Los Angeles Lakers. However, during their time in the City of Angeles, Jayson Tatum found some time to make an appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel show.

According to NBA reporter Jovan Buha of The Athletic, trading for a center is a big priority for the Los Angeles Lakers. Anthony Davis will miss at least one week after suffering an abdominal muscle strain in the Lakers’ loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday.
