Kings at Celtics picks and predictionsPrediction

Celtics 113, Kings 104

PASS.

There is no value on the Celtics (-600) to take down a Kings’ team (+425) on the second half of a back-to-back that has already lost 7 games in a row.

BET KINGS +11.5 (-110).

The Kings have covered as double-figure underdogs in 2 of their last 4 games, all on the road. While they are in the midst of a difficult road trip, they face a Celtics team that will most likely be without Brown, who is fourth in the NBA in scoring with 29.4 points per game and led the team in Wednesday’s loss.

The Celtics have failed to cover the spread in each of their last 4, all as favorites, including back-to-back games at home. At full strength, this would be a favorable spread for the home team, but with Brown on the sidelines, the Kings have the advantage.

BET UNDER 220.5 (-105).

The Celtics have hit the Under in 8 of their last 10 games, including each of their last 3 and each of their last 4 at home. They have scored 111 or fewer points in each of their last 3 games, while allowing 106 or fewer in 6 of their last 10.

The Kings have hit the Under in back-to-back games, scoring 111 or fewer in each game. They have scored 111 or fewer in 4 of their last 7, while allowing 113 or fewer in back-to-back games.
