NBA Rivals Week will come to an end on Saturday with a tripleheader on ABC.

Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets will take on Joel Embiid and the 76ers, followed by a battle for New York between the Knicks and the Nets. There's no other way to conclude Rivals Week than with the greatest rivalry in NBA history, with the Celtics hosting the Lakers on the TD Garden parquet.

The latest edition of the rivalry between Los Angeles and Boston is in good hands, as LeBron James and Anthony Davis will go up against another one of the best duos in the league in Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

Davis just returned from injury on Wednesday, picking up right where he left off with 21 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks. Brown missed the Celtics' loss against the Heat on Tuesday but returned to action against the Knicks on Thursday, lining him up to play in this contest on Saturday.

With those four stars on the floor, you won't want to miss this one. Find out how you can tune in to Lakers versus Celtics below.
