What to Know

After two games on the road, the Boston Celtics are heading back home. They will take on the Los Angeles Lakers at 8:30 p.m. ET Saturday at TD Garden after having had a few days off. Boston will be seeking to avenge the 114-112 loss they suffered the last time these two teams played Feb. 23 of last year.

It was close but no cigar for the Celtics as they fell 110-106 to the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. Boston's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of shooting guard Jaylen Brown, who had 24 points and five assists, and small forward Jayson Tatum, who had 25 points along with seven boards.

Meanwhile, the point spread favored Los Angeles on Thursday, but luck did not. They lost to the Detroit Pistons on the road by a decisive 107-92 margin. The losing side was boosted by small forward LeBron James, who posted a double-double on 22 points and ten dimes in addition to seven rebounds.

With both teams hitting sour notes in their previous games, they will no doubt be looking to produce a better outcome in this one. The teams are out to make things right after dropping matches they were expected to win, so stay tuned to see which team bounces back.
