Lakers vs. Boston

The Lakers are having a good game in the first minutes of the game vs. Boston with AD and LeBron's replacement is the first to score for LA

In what is an expected blowout win for the Boston Celtics, the LA Lakers are giving a good performance in the first minutes against their biggest rivals without their two biggest superstars as Anthony Davis and LeBron James are both out for tonight's contest.

With 6:44 min left in the clock for the first quarter, the Lakers are currently leading the game 11-10, and while is too early to make any assumptions in the game, the team is far from looking as bad as everyone expected.

LeBron James and Anthony Davis's replacements for tonight's game, Jarred Vanderbilt and Jaxson Hayes have scored 4 points each, which come to show they are willing to take this golden opportunity to show what they are capable of.

Hayes has a unique chance as he hasn't played too much in the campaign so far, and now has started over Christian Wood, who many believed was the natural backup center for Davis. But Ham keeps surprising. Austin Reaves is the third Lakers with 3 points that have LA in the lead.

A new report has LeBron James leaving LA soon

According to NBA insider from KTLA Sports David Pingalore (who has been VERY ACCURATE): "Hearing from NBA peeps LeBron James is the top of the Lakers list to trade the 39-year-old. Pelinka is looking for the right team to dance with and is close to a suitor Lbj and AD both out tonight." Of course, this is only a rumor at the time, but LeBron's recent hourglass emoji could be because of that.
