There are the Celtics, who are on a tear right now, winning all of their last seven games, including a 107-102 victory over the LA Clippers to close out a three-game home stand. Up ahead is a four-game road trip, which begins in Sacramento, where the Celtics are 5-5 ATS in their last 10 visits there.<\/p>\n<p>Isaiah Thomas is the single best reason why the Celtics are reaping so much success of late. The diminutive guard has just been unstoppable during the team\u2019s win streak, averaging 35.3 points on 52.0 field goal shooting percentage in seven games. Thomas scored 20 points in the Celtics\u2019 97-82 win over Sacramento back in Dec. 2. He shot just 6-for-20 from the field though including 0-for-5 from deep.<\/p>\n<p>Al Horford, meanwhile, had a better performance, pounding out 26 points on 10-for-18 shooting in that game. Horford should be able to abuse Sacramento\u2019s interior defense with the Kings missing the services of big man DeMarcus Cousins due to suspension.<\/p>\n<p>The Celtics are average 108.3 PPG and give up 105.6 PPG thus far this season.<\/p>\n<h3>Sacramento Kings (20-32)<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/nba\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Point Spread: +8.5<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After pulling off a giant upset of the Golden State Warriors last Saturday (109-106 OT), the Kings went crashing back to the ground with a 112-107 loss to Chicago on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>The loss to the Bulls gave Sacramento added headache with Cousins netting his 15th and 16th technical fouls of the season, which translates to an automatic one-game suspension. Without Cousins, the Kings will be looking to get more from Darren Collison, who is averaging 13.8 points on 50.2 FG% when Sacramento is at home this season. Collison finished the Chicago game with 14 points and five assists. In lieu of Cousins, expect Willie Cauley-Stein to take on a larger role. Cauley-Stein has averaged 9.8 point and 3.8 rebounds in the last five games.<\/p>\n<p>The bench will have to step up too later tonight. Sacramento\u2019s reserves are putting up 19.8 PPG.<\/p>\n<p>Sacramento is 5-2 ATS in its last seven home games.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Boston wins but Sacramento covers (<a
