Lakers vs. Celtics Odds & Betting Predictions - February 2, 2024

The Lakers take on the Celtics today as significant underdogs. The Lakers have struggled to find consistent success while the Celtics have been dominant on both sides of the ball. One players that continually gets up for these games though is LeBron James. LeBron has played well against the Celtics over the last two seasons, he is averaging 30 points, 9 rebounds, and 8.3 assists. In this matchup, I’ll be targeting his rebounds. HIs rebounds line is set at 6.5 (-140) with some 8+ at plus money in the market as well. I like the over. He’s recorded 9 in each of the three games he has played against Boston and it’s the one area that Boston has not been truly elite at. They are a poor offensive rebounding team and LeBron grabs the majority of his boards on that side of the floor. LeBron has exceeded this line in 57% of games but 60% of games on the road. In a tough matchup against the Celtics, I expect LeBron to exceed his rebounding total.
