Tips and Trends
Los Angeles Lakers at Boston Celtics [ABC | 9 PM ET]
Lakers: Regardless of the team’s performance in the first two games of the series at Boston, LA was one of the best roads teams in the NBA prior to the NBA Finals. The Lakers also still feel like they have the better bench, and they will need to prove it in Game 6 if they hope to extend this series one more game. "Right now their bench is playing a little bit better than ours is," LA head coach Phil Jackson said. "We’ve got some guys performing off the bench but not the unit. We’re going to have to find a better way to do at that in Game 6 if we’re going to survive."
The UNDER is 7-1 in LA’s last 8 games as an underdog.
The UNDER is 8-2 in LA’s last 10 games overall.
Key Injuries – NONE
Celtics (-4, O/U 191.5): Boston will be playing an NBA-record 26th game of the postseason on Tuesday and would love to avoid a third Game 7. Fatigue is definitely a concern for Celtics head coach Doc Rivers, who believes jet lag could be a factor upon their return. In fact, the team’s plane was delayed several hours on Monday before making it back home. "It’s a terrible turnaround," Rivers said. "It’s as tough as you can have. I think going West to East is tougher. Sleep patterns are messed up. It’s a tough one. There’s no way around it. But both teams have the same issue, so it could come down to a game of mental toughness, who fights the fatigue mentally better than the other group."
Celtics are 7-0 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
Celtics are 14-5 ATS in their last 19 home games.
Key Injuries – C Kendrick Perkins (6.9 ppg; shoulder) is questionable.
