Boston Celtics vs Los Angeles Clippers Prediction: Can the Celtics get revenge at TD Garden?

The first game between Boston and the Los Angeles Clippers this season ended with a win for the Californians. Can the Celtics get revenge at TD Garden?

The team is coming into this meeting with the Los Angeles Clippers with a streak of three straight wins. Boston's offense - the best in the league this season - returned to full strength, as Minnesota (121:109), Milwaukee (139:118), and Houston (126:102) each shot 120+ at the TD Garden. Boston regained first place in the Eastern Conference, with a 25-10 balance.

The team has also been playing great of late. With their injured leaders back on the court, the Clippers are improving from game to game. In their previous nine games, the Californians have only two losses, to Phoenix in back-to-back games and Philadelphia on the road. It should be noted, however, that the Clippers beat Boston and some of their most formidable opponents in that stretch: Washington, Minnesota, Charlotte, Detroit, and Toronto.

For Boston, the upcoming matchup is crucial. The Celtics recently lost on the road by 20 points to the Clippers, and it's a matter of honor for the Eastern Conference's top team to take revenge for that painful defeat. And, quite likely, Boston can win. The Clippers are playing their fourth consecutive road game and might be unable to handle the fatigue. They are especially considering that the Celtics' offensive prowess and super offense, which restarted in the last three games, may be too much for them to handle.
