The Celtics are coming into this game with a 52-19 record this season and they have been playing well in their recent games. They have won their last 5 straight as well as 10 of their last 11 games, but they have also been beating up on some awful teams recently. In their last 5 games, they have wins against the Trail Blazers, the Jazz, the Heat, and 2 wins over the Nets as well. They are coming off of a 129-116 win on the road against the Trail Blazers in their last game, but that game was also on Sunday so they are on a B2B here and have to travel for this game. They have also been missing some key pieces in their lineup who they could be without in this game as well, and that is going to play a bigger role in this game against a stronger team like the Kings. They are going up against a Kings team that is 35-35 this season and they are currently sitting in a spot for the play-in tournament. They have lost their last 2 straight games, losing 128-116 against the Bulls and 114-108 against the Bucks with both of those games being at home, but prior to that they had won 2 straight games against very good teams in the Grizzlies and the Cavaliers, both of those wins coming at home as well. The Kings have played slightly better at home this season at 18-17 and they are going to be hungry to bounce back after 2 straight losses. The Celtics are in a bad spot here on the B2B with some key injuries to some of their starters and they are still the defending champions as well so the Kings are going to get up for this game at home. The Kings will cover the spread in this game.
