Sacramento vs Boston Prediction: the Celtics Can Win Even in Back-to-Back

Prediction for the NBA match between Sacramento vs Boston, which will take place on December 21st. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Sacramento

The Kings are slowly returning to the level that got them into the playoffs last season. Mike Brown's team is once again strong on offense and rarely loses. If we exclude the beginning of the championship, when Sacramento did not look at their best, look at the last 19 games; the Kings have only five losses and 14 victories. Their overall record of 16-9 isn't bad either. The Californians are already in fourth place in the Western Conference. In the last match, Sacramento defeated Washington at home - 143:131. De'Aaron Fox finished with 30 points, and Domantas Sabonis had a double-double with 28 points, 13 rebounds, and 12 assists.

Boston

Boston was close to success in the game against Golden State but lost the final quarter by 11 points and eventually failed in overtime - 126-132 (121-121). In the Celtics lineup, we pay attention to Derrick White - 30 points, and Jaylen Brown - 28 points. Jayson Tatum had a disappointing match, scoring only 15 points on 5-for-17 shooting from the field. The loss in San Francisco was just the second in the last ten games for Boston and just the sixth in 26 games since the start of the championship. Joe Mazzulla's team still leads the Eastern Conference.

Expert Betting Tips

The Celtics' margin of safety is so significant that even in back-to-back games, they can handle one of the strongest teams in the Western Conference at home. That's why we think Boston is overrated here, and we will take advantage of it. We're also going with the TO on three-pointers - both Sacramento and Boston are in the top 3 in accurate long-range attempts, while both teams' defense at the arc is slipping.
