Kings vs. Celtics Picks
Point Spread Pick for Kings vs. Celtics
- Boston Celtics to cover. (4 Units)
The Celtics have the edge in this game because they’re playing well offensively, scoring more than 116 points per game at home, while making over 47 percent of their shots. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 80 percent of their free throws. They rebound the ball well and grab more than 12 offensive rebounds per game at home, which will give them more scoring chances. They also do a good job of protecting the ball and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Kings aren’t very good defensively, and they’re giving up more than 120 points per game on the road. They’re also playing on consecutive nights and will be dealing with fatigue, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Celtics. Take Boston to cover the spread.
Over/Under Picks or Kings vs. Celtics
- Under (4 Units)
The Kings average 110.5 points per game.
