NBA Betting Trends - Kings (8-12) at Celtics (17-2)
BetUS: The
Boston Celtics are a perfect 10-0 at home while
the Sacramento Kings are also perfect on
the road – at 0-8 that is.
Not only are the Celtics, (13-5-1- ATS,
7-11-1 O/U) perfect at home this season,
but they have been absolutely destroying
opponents, winning their home contests by
an average of 21.2 points per game.
The Kings,
(11-9 ATS, 10-9-1 O/U) are going to have
a tough way to go against Boston’s
league-leading defense, which is allowing
a microscopic 87.7 points per game to their
bewildered opponents.
Heck, in Boston’s
six-game winning streak, they have given
up an unheard-of average of just 80.3
Sacramento will be without their leading
scorer, Kevin Martin, who was averaging 24.5
points this season before injuring his groin
last Tuesday against Utah. The Kings are
also without point guard Mike Bibby who has
been out all season with an injury.
Sacramento beat the Milwaukee Bucks 96-93
at home on as backup shooting guard John
Salmons had 22 points starting in place of
Martin and Brad Miller had a double-double
with 17 points and 10 rebounds.
The Celtics beat the Chicago Bulls 92-81
on Saturday.

Analysis: Once
again beloved NBA basketball bettors, while
the outcome of this game certainly isn’t
in doubt, the high 14.5-point spread should
give bettors reason to weigh this wager
very carefully before blindly selecting
the red-hot Celtics.
As a matter
of fact, I say take the Kings to cover
the high spread as they haven’t
lost by more than 14 points once in their
last 10 contests and have been boosted by
the return of defensive ace Ron Artest.
