Boston Celtics at Los Angeles Lakers: Stream, lineups, injury reports, broadcast (2/22)
The Boston Celtics will make the trip to California’s Crypto Dot Com Arena to take on their greatest rival, the Los Angeles Lakers, this Sunday (Feb. 22) evening. The Celtics will be looking to keep their current win streak alive in the process, as will the Lakers, with both ball clubs having seen some success on the court since returning to play from the pause of the 2026 All-Star Week’s festivities.
With both teams looking healthier than they have for some time, this ought to be a great matchup. We are leaning towards a Boston win, but the Celtics cannot mail any of this contest in if they want to beat one of the Western Conference’s better teams.
