The Kings are on a second leg of a back to back with travel so this is a tough spot to be in as the Kings traditionally don't do well in this no rest spot. The Kings need this game and they are desperate as they still are playing for seeding, but the Celtics at home haven't lost a game in a long while, they are 33-3 SU. Though they don't have anything to play for because they locked up top spot, they have no pressure in this game and even if some of the players are rested, they still should cover this spread. The Celtics have approached their games with the same motivation and when these two last played, they blew out the Kings by 25 points, so if they only need to cover by 9.5, then they will cover it. The Celtics have beaten this team soundly in their last five games by double digits so this game should be no different.
