There are several heated rivalries in the NBA, but one stands above them all: the Los Angeles Lakers (27-26 SU, 23-28-2 ATS) versus the Boston Celtics (34-19 SU, 28-25 ATS). They’ll meet for the first time this season on Thursday at the TD Garden, starting at 8 PM ET on TNT. But will LeBron James be there? Or Kyrie Irving?

James (groin) made his return from a 17-game absence last Thursday and played 40 minutes against the Los Angeles Clippers, only to miss the following game against the Golden State Warriors after feeling sore. He’s officially listed as day-to-day; so are Lonzo Ball (ankle) and Ivica Zubac (finger), who could also find themselves shipped out of town before Thursday’s trade deadline – if the Lakers are serious about acquiring Anthony Davis from the New Orleans Pelicans.
Irving (hip) is wrapped up in the Davis situation, too. Is he planning to leave Boston during the offseason and reunite with James in Los Angeles – preferably with his good pal Davis joining them? At the very least, Irving will miss Tuesday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, as will Aron Baynes (foot) and possibly Robert Williams (back).

NBA Odds: Lakers-Celtics at the Garden
Thursday’s game at the TD Garden (8 PM ET, TNT) between the 27-26 Los Angeles Lakers and the 34-19 Boston Celtics is supposed to be a reunion of two former teammates: LeBron James and Kyrie Irving. But will either of them play?

James (groin) missed Saturday’s game in Golden State after playing 40 minutes during his long-awaited comeback against the LA Clippers. He might dress Thursday, but Irving (hip) has been in and out of the lineup, and isn’t expected to play Tuesday in Cleveland. Thursday is also the NBA trade deadline – will Anthony Davis join either team by then?
