Kings at Celtics picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 118, Kings 109

Moneyline

PASS.

The Celtics are rightfully a strong favorite and are a league-best 33-3 at home this season. However, at -500, they aren’t worth a play to win outright.

Against the spread

BET KINGS +10 (-110).

The Kings haven’t been a double-digit underdog all season long and finished 3rd in the Western Conference last season with a similar roster. They are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 games as a road underdog and 2-1 in their last 3 games in general.

The Celtics are strong at home, but they are just 1-3 ATS in their last 4 games as a double-digit favorite and 0-2 ATS in their last 2 games as a favorite of 10-11. Boston could be without 2 of its last 4 leading scorers in Brown and White as well.

Back KINGS +10 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 225.5 (-110).

The Celtics have gone Over in 2 straight games, scoring at least 118 in both, and they have gone Over in 7 of their last 8. They have the No. 1-ranked offensive rating in the NBA.

The Kings have allowed at least 120 points in 2 of their last 5 and have gone Over in 2 of their last 3. Sacramento has scored at least 109 points in 3 straight games.

Take OVER 225.5 (-110).

Kings at Celtics picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 116, Kings 110

Moneyline

Just go ahead and AVOID the moneyline in this game with the Celtics being heavily favored at home. Taking Boston (-340) straight up isn’t worth the risk considering the minimal return you’ll receive for a win.

Against the spread

KINGS +7.5 (-105) is an enticing wager with how Sacramento has been playing recently. C Domantas Sabonis could create issues down low for an undersized Celtics team, helping the Kings keep the game closer than expected.

The Kings are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games playing on 1 day of rest. Also, Sacramento is 5-2-1 ATS in its last 8 meetings with Boston.

Over/Under

Even though both of these teams have capable scorers, UNDER 237.5 (-110) is where I’m leaning as the projected total seems to be a bit too high. Sacramento and Boston have a combined 18-15-2 record to the Over this season.

The Kings have hit the Under in 5 of their last 6 road games against a team with a winning home record. On top of that, the Under has hit in 17 of the last 22 meetings between the Kings and the Celtics when the game takes place in Boston.

Sacramento Kings at Boston Celtics odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s Sacramento Kings at Boston Celtics odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Sacramento Kings (18-30) carry their three-game losing skid to the East Coast where they’ll face the Boston Celtics (24-24) Tuesday. Tip-off is at 7:30 p.m. ET from TD Garden. Below, we look at the Kings vs. Celtics odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Kings lost 133-127 to the Milwaukee Bucks as 8-point underdogs Saturday as they fell 12 games below .500. They’re 10th in the league with 110.5 points per game but their defense has been abysmal. Sacramento has given up 114.5 points per game — 29th in the league.

PG De’Aaron Fox is in the midst of a strong season but he’s currently dealing with an ankle injury that kept him out of Saturday’s loss.

The Celtics snapped their two-game skid Sunday with a 116-87 blowout win at the Washington Wizards as they easily covered a 2.5-point spread as favorites. SF Jayson Tatum had a season-high 51 points as he drilled 9 of 14 attempts from 3-point range as he heats up after a bit of a slump in recent games.

Boston is allowing the seventh-fewest points per game (105.5) but is also putting up just 107.6 points per game to rank 20th in the NBA.

Kings at Celtics odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 117, Kings 105

Money line

The Celtics could start to find a groove on offense with Tatum seemingly getting out of his slump. This is a perfect opportunity for Tatum and Boston to continue to roll offensively against a Kings team that hasn’t stopped many teams this season.

I would PASS on the money line even though I like the Celtics to win this one outright and extend the Kings’ losing skid. They’ve lost two of their last three games as favorites and it’s not worth risking over four times your potential return.

Against the spread

Both the Celtics and the Kings have posted 4-6 ATS records over their last 10 as they’ve struggled against the spread. The Celtics did secure their fourth win by at least double-digits in their last 10 games by beating the Wizards 116-87, so they do have a few convincing wins recently.

That should continue against the Kings, especially if Fox is unable to go. CELTICS -8.5 (-107) is a good pick and I would bet this up to -9.5.

Over/Under

The Over is 5-5 in the Celtics’ last 10 games and 6-4 in the Kings’ last 10, so there isn’t a strong trend to follow entering this matchup. The concern with taking the Over is Fox’s injury, but Boston should be able to put up at least 115 against Sacramento, and the Kings have scored 108 or more points in each of their last six games.

I like the OVER 220.5 (-112) tonight.

Kings at Celtics: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Celtics 120, Kings 110

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line as the Celtics (-300) are far too inconsistent to wager on at these odds.

With a record of 20-20, they just can’t be trusted on a night-to-night basis against any team. Instead, look to the spread as it presents more value for Boston.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

CELTICS -7 (-110) is the lean here despite Boston going 1-4 against the spread over its last five games. The Celtics have been incredibly inconsistent of late, losing three of their last four games and falling to the Cleveland Cavilers Wednesday night.

The Kings can’t be trusted much either as they have lost 13 of their last 17 games and have covered the spread in just four of those contests. Without Bagley in the lineup, this one could get ugly for Sacramento.

Take Boston to bounce back and win by at least 8 Friday night.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 234.5 is the pick as the Celtics have struggled on offense this season. They are averaging just 112.1 points per game to rank 19th in the NBA; however, Sacramento’s defense (29th in the NBA) should allow Boston to score around 120 points.

Still, the Under is a safe play as the Kings just aren’t good enough on offense to score much more than 110 points.
