Boston Celtics vs Sacramento Kings: Current situation
Apart from the loss at Oklahoma City a couple of games ago, the Boston Celtics have had a strong start to 2025 with 4 wins in 5 games. The defending champions are basically in cruise mode at this point, trying to win games, but also putting health atop of their priority list. Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis have all taken games off from time to time, as the Cs look towards their title defense in May and June.
Better days are ahead for the Sacramento Kings who are now on their longest win streak of the season having won 5 games in a row. New interim head coach Doug Christie has them playing an up-tempo style, something that got them into the postseason a couple of years ago under head coach Mike Brown. In their last 3 games the Kings have scored 123, 129 and 138 points against really solid opposition, this latest 5-game win streak now has them on the verge of a play-in tournament spot.
Boston Celtics Stats & Form
Boston had a much easier job than expected in their latest game at Denver, as they took care of the Nuggets who were without their best player Nikola Jokic. Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis stepped up offensively with 29 and 25 points respectively, the Cs shot 50% as a team from the field and despite scoring only 12 threes were able to win fairly comfortably. They return home on Friday where they’ve won 13 of 19 games this season.
Sacramento Kings Stats & Form
The Kings needed double overtime to win their latest game against the Miami Heat 123-118. DeMar DeRozan showed just why they acquired him this offseason as he scored 9 of Sacramento’s last 11 points in the 2nd overtime period. The win is a significant one for Sacramento as they played without their point guard and best player Fox who was out with an minor hip issue. According to the latest reports he should be ready to go on Friday.

Betting tip and prediction: Boston Celtics vs Sacramento Kings (10.01.2025)
Who would have thought that the Kings had it in them to win 5 games in a row after a 13-19 start to the season? The firing of head coach Mike Brown has completely rejuvenated this team, the ball movement and spacing on offense is much better which has resulted in the Kings having the 5th highest offensive rating during this win streak. Another thing that new head coach Doug Christie has improved is the team’s ability to force turnovers. Sacramento’s opponents have averaged 15.3 turnovers per game this season, that number is up to 17.7 per game in their last 3 games. Boston is one of the elite teams when it comes to taking care of the ball, but even they will have to be careful around the hands of Fox and others. That is if Fox plays. The Kings guard is a game time decision here, although they did beat Miami without him, it’s quite obvious that in the long run it will be difficult playing without their best player. Boston has dominated this match-up for years now, they are 6-0 SU in the last 6 meetings at TD Garden and have covered the spread in 5 of the last 6 meetings. The Celtics are the safer option here, we’re afraid Sacramento’s win streak comes to an end.
