The Celtics are coming into this game as an 8 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Celtics are coming off of a win in their last game and they should be able to build on that win moving forward. The Celtics have been playing much better recently and they are going up against a Kings side that has been awful in their recent games. The Kings have lost 3 straight games but they have also won just 2 games in their last 10. They are having a bad season and not playing well right now while the Celtics have been much better and are going to need to start pushing for more wins to make the playoffs. The best bet to place in this game is on the Celtics to cover the spread here.

“You have to guard in a way that you just don’t give up the last 11 points of the game. You just can’t do it. The bottom line is that they made big shots when they had to and we didn’t get the last one in the basket. We played well enough to win. We just didn’t finish the game.” - Alvin gentry on his team’s loss against the Pistons on Wednesday.

 

 

"When you're missing shots, you know what you're capable of, and sometimes you've got to laugh it off. It's as simple as sometimes you just don't make shots. You play so many games." - Jayson Tatum on their win against the Wizards on Sunday.
