Boston Celtics vs Sacramento Kings Prediction: the Kings' winning streak will be interrupted

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on January 11. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Boston Celtics

The Celtics had a bad stretch, four losses in six games, largely due to the absence of their main point guard, Jrue Holiday. When the guard returned to the floor, the results of the reigning champion went up again. Thus, Boston is approaching the game with Sacramento having won four of the last five games.

In the most recent game the Celts confidently coped with Denver without Nikola Jokic - 118:106. Before that, Boston had a disappointing road game against Oklahoma (92:105), where they scored only 27 points in the second half, but earlier they won three games in a row - at home against Toronto (125:71), and away against Minnesota (118:115) and Houston (109:86).

Boston now has a total of 27 wins and 10 losses this season. In the Eastern Conference standings, the Celtics are second only to Cleveland, which is still going for the NBA record for the balance of wins.

Sacramento Kings

It's unlikely that the reason for the Kings' failures was Mike Brown, who led the California team to the playoffs just two seasons ago, but the fact remains that Sacramento has five wins in six games under Doug Christie. In the first game after the coaching change, the Kings lost 122:132 away to the Los Angeles Lakers, but went on to win five games in a row. At home, Sacramento beat Dallas (110:100), Philadelphia (113:107), Memphis (138:133) and Miami (123:118 (102:102) in overtime), and away they confidently outplayed Golden State (129:99).

Thanks to a successful stretch, Sacramento almost reached 50% of wins - 18-19, and currently shares tenth place in the Western Conference standings with San Antonio, that is, back among the play-in contenders.

Expert Betting Tips

Sacramento is on a winning streak and it would seem that the Kings should hold a favorable head start at TD Garden, but today's Boston is capable of crushing any opponent if they want to. Whether the Celtics will want to and whether they will play is not a fact, so we won't bet on the outcome here. On the total we suggest considering the total under.
