Two storied franchises are set to face off on Tuesday, as the Boston Celtics travel to the Los Angeles Lakers for a special cross-conference clash. Read on for our Celtics-Lakers NBA pick based on the top odds.
The Lakers are a welcome sight for the Celtics, who still boast the league's best record even though they enter this matchup on a mini-slump. Boston (21-7) has dropped back-to-back road games against the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers.
However, the Lakers (11-15) are not on the same level as those teams, and lost three of their last four games to end their road trip.
Here is our top NBA pick for Tuesday's matchup between the Celtics and Lakers (odds via FanDuel Sportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).
