This clash is one of the most storied rivalries in the history of the NBA.
The Celtics, despite losing Gordon Hayward to a season-long injury, have won nine games on the trot.
Although the Celtics will be without key man Al Horford, they still have Kyrie Irving in their ranks.
The Lakers in the meantime, will be without Larry Nance Jr. who continues to recover from a broken hand that will keep him out for up to six weeks.
Irving will be the one Lakers will have to keep an eye on, as he has averaged over two defensive rebounds per game.
His shooting stats make for good reading too as he averages 22.3 points per game.
