A lot to get into on today's show. We need to talk about, number one, of course, the Lakers injury report. Some important things in there. Who will and who will not be available for tonight's game? I need to get into some keys for the Lakers in order for them to get the win tonight. Keith Smith is going to be stopping by on this show to give us some insight into what the Lakers can expect from the Celtics, what Boston, how they've been running things lately, that sort of stuff. So he's going to come by and give us some great insight there. We also have a really big mailbag to get into. So a lot of stuff to talk about on today's show. Let's start, though, with a shout out to our friends over at Bet U.S.

1:11.8

Right now, the Lakers, pretty heavy underdogs over on Bet U.S. to the Celtics tonight.

1:17.7

Boston, a seven and a half point favorite going into this one.

1:22.5

Yikes, that is a very, very, especially considering the Lakers have won 20 of their last 24 games.

1:28.4

Yet the Celtics are a seven and a half point favorite in Boston.

1:31.8

Not a lot of faith there in those odds for the Lakers.

We saw them do it against the Knicks with Josh Hart. I think the belief is that that defense will have a hard time against the Celtics team where everybody can shoot the three. So we'll see. You know what? Like I said, the Lakers going in the underdog,

2:01.4

but let's see if they can buck those odds. And most importantly, Buck Foster, Lakers, Celtics,

again, 5.30 p.m. Pacific time tonight. Bet US has the Lakers as a seven and a half point underdog.

2:27.5

We take a look at this. And right now we've got Luca and LeBron as probable. That's great to see.

2:34.0

Austin Reeves no longer on the injury report.

2:37.5

That's also fantastic to see.

2:40.2

But, uh-oh, Jackson Hayes listed as questionable.

2:44.8

He did have a neat contusion.
