Boston narrowly avoided defeat just down the road in Inglewood on Wednesday, scraping by the shorthanded Clippers in overtime behind some hot 3-point shooting in the extra period — including a crucial late triple from little-used reserve Jaden Springer with 34 seconds to play.

The Celtics continue their road trip with a game against their long time rival, the Los Angeles Lakers. This is the first of 2 games between these two teams this season. They will meet for a second time in Boston on March 8.

Davis has a long injury history and has been able to buck that issue in the last couple of years. That doesn't mean he hasn't gotten hurt a couple of times. The Lakers are taking on the Boston Celtics on Thursday night. It's a game that is big for both teams.

The Los Angeles Lakers stand five games above .500 at the midway point of their schedule, and a pivotal stretch of six straight road games is right around the corner.

The Los Angeles Lakers list Anthony Davis as probable with a right calf injury for Thursday’s game against the Boston Celtics.
