The Boston Celtics will make the trip to California’s Golden 1 Center to face off with the Sacramento Kings<\/a> this Thursday (Jan. 1) night. There, the Celtics will look to keep themselves in the win column after bouncing back from an unexpected loss with a road win for their last contest.<\/p>\n

The Kings are working to get back in the win column themselves after dropping multiple games in a row, so Boston won’t be able to mail this game in unless they want to see another ugly loss on their record. We expect a Celtics win, but playing down to their opponent carries the usual risks.<\/p>\n
