“Clash of Titans: Can the Celtics Conquer the Grizzlies While the Rockets Seek Revenge Against the Lakers?”

LeBron James has more bounce in his step since Luka arrived in Los Angeles. LeBron can coast and give Doncic the playmaking responsibilities until the Lakers need James to hit another gear in winning time. With LeBron’s and Luka’s minutes staggered, the Lakers will always have the best player on the floor in this game. 

Furthermore, I like the roster surrounding James and Doncic. The Lakers have a bunch of “glue guys” who can defend and hit 3-pointers, and, if combo guard Austin Reaves continues to play as well as he has this season, they have a legit “Big 3”. Reaves is averaging career-bests in points (20.1), rebounds (4.5), and assists (5.9) per game in 2024-25.
