It&rsquo;s already the most hyped clash of the season as it becomes the most expensive Boston home game ever. Both teams are sitting second in their respective conference. <\/p><p>The Lakers have won eight games in a row and enter the TD Garden with an overtime win against the New York Knicks. Luka Doncic&rsquo;s arrival has done the magic for the Lakers, who are the frontrunners to reach NBA finals this season. <\/p><p>Boston Celtics are 3-1 in their current homestand but faced a 117-97 loss in their previous regular-season meeting with the Lakers.
