- Boston is beating opponents by an average of 10.2 points per game this year, the second-best margin in the NBA.
- The Celtics have a winning road record this year at 8-6 and should keep playing well on the road here.
The highlight of the NBA Christmas Day schedule might just be Celtics vs Lakers from crypto.com Arena. In that game, we are laying the points with the Celtics on the road. Boston has the size to contend with Anthony Davis, as Kristaps Porzingis has been a legitimate rim protector for them this season. Combine that with Boston’s lethal offense and the perimeter defense of Jrue Holiday, and we love Boston to make a statement in this Christmas rivalry game.
