Sacramento Kings vs Boston Celtics Prediction & Picks - NBA
by Lou Aguila | in NBA Picks
Boston Celtics will attempt to extend their home winning streak to 12 games as they host the Sacramento Kings on Friday, 7:30 p.m US EST, at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.
The Celtics have been so dominant at home over the last 11 games that bookmakers pegged them at -9.5 against a legitimate Western Conference playoff contender.
The Boston Celtics:
The Celtics continue to rack up victories despite already securing home court advantage for the rest of the NBA playoffs with still two weeks left in the regular-season.
Boston demonstrated their might in a recent game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, with Kristaps Porzingis, Jaylen Brown, and Jayson Tatum all scoring 20 or more points in a superb victory over one of the Western Conference's premier teams.
The Sacramento Kings:
The Kings kicked off their four-game road trip on a losing note, falling to the New York Knicks 120-109, on Thursday.
All-Star point guard De’ Aaron Fox stuffed the stats sheets with 29 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. Domantas Sabonis also displayed his all-around brilliance, recording 17 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists. However, the Kings couldn’t contain the Villanova duo of Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart, who combined for 67 points.
Sacramento is currently in 8th place, one full game behind the sixth-place Phoenix Suns. The Kings remain in contention for an outright postseason berth, but they must perform well in their remaining games to avoid being sent to the play-in phase.

Our Sacramento Kings vs Boston Celtics Prediction
The Celtics have been double-digit favorites in seven of their previous ten games. In those games, they covered the spread six times, including a 13.5-point spread against the Detroit Pistons. But the Kings aren't the Pistons. Sacramento is a tough club that features a dynamic All-Star tandem. And, despite the fact that the Celtics destroyed them 144-119 in their first meeting, the Kings will provide a tough challenge for the home team this time around.
Our betting prediction for the Kings vs. Celtics: Take Kings to cover +10.5 points at BetMGM.
