Los Angeles head to Boston looking to get back on track after suffering back-to-back defeats.
The Lakers enjoyed a decent run in the second half of January when they won five of their seven games.
They beat Oklahoma City 112-105 and Dallas 127-110 at home, and then bounced back from a 130-112 defeat to Brooklyn with a 134-110 blowout of Portland.
Los Angeles failed to make it back-to-back wins as they lost 127-116 to the LA Clippers, but they did rebound quickly to beat Chicago 141-132 at home and Golden State 145-144 (2OT) on the road.
However, the Lakers have failed to keep that run going this week, following up a 135-119 defeat in Houston with a 138-122 loss in Atlanta.
Boston Celtics Form
Boston enter this matchup on a good run of form, having now won eight of their last 11 games.
The Celtics started this sequence with a 145-113 blowout of Houston at home, which was followed by a 105-96 victory in Toronto and a 117-98 win at home to San Antonio.
Their run was halted at three games by a 102-100 defeat to Denver, but their response was to then reel off three consecutive wins.
Boston went out on the road and beat Houston 116-107 and Dallas 119-110, before downing the Heat in Miami, 143-110.
The Celtics failed to make it four-in-a-row as they lost 115-96 to the LA Clippers, but they bounced back quickly to beat New Orleans 118-112 and Indiana 129-124.

Boston are the better team in better form, and they have repeatedly beaten and covered against Los Angeles in recent teams.
