Book: Best price at FanDuel
Our best bet for Boston Celtics vs Sacramento Kings is Boston Celtics -11.5 (-110) against the spread.
The Boston Celtics enter the game on the back of a 29-18 record, that ties them with the Knicks in the second spot. They maintain a 14-8 win-loss record at home, and have won five of their last ten games. The Kings, on the other hand, are struggling with a poor 12-37 record, and are coming off a seven-game win-loss record.
In addition, the Celtics maintain the second-best offensive rating in the league, while their defensive rating occupies them the 12th spot. Their rivals, on the flip side, are seeded towards the bottom of the standings in both metrics.
The spread at Celtics -11.5 fits the Celtics well considering their homecourt advantage as well as the Kings’ poor record. They cover well in such spots.
Keeping Boston’s offensive and defensive edge in mind and the Kings’ struggling form in mind, we are comfortably laying the Boston Celtics -11.5 (-110) as the best bet of the day, and expect the hosts to cover the number tonight comfortably.
3-Leg SGP (Safer)
Combined odds: +961
We have built this same-game parlay around the Boston Celtics winning comfortably at home. Derrick White and Payton Pritchard are expected to take the scoring responsibility for their side in the potential absence of Jaylen Brown, their leading scorer. Derrick White is is averaging over 17 points per game. Payton Pritchard, on the other hand, is averaging around 17 points per game.
These legs are correlated considering if the Celtics are dominating the court since the beginning, their players will get volume. White and Pritchard are expected to exploit the Kings’ poor defense and score well for their side at home. Hence, this is our safer SGP option.
