Boston Celtics vs Sacramento Kings Prediction

The Kings are getting some love because they’re at home with the rest advantage. The Celtics are banged up and played last night. However, the Celtics continue to pile up the wins regardless and you rarely get them at a line this soft. In fact, this will be just the ninth time since November that the Celtics are a favorite of five or fewer points. The Kings have injuries of their own and they just lost two home games as a favorite to the Bucks and Bulls. I’d need more points to look in the Kings' direction. I’ll take advantage of the soft line and back the Celtics on the road.
