On Tuesday night, the Boston Celtics and Sacramento Kings will put on a high-scoring match. Despite clinching a playoff berth and sitting second in the Eastern Conference, the Boston Celtics are coming off of a loss and have gone 5-5 through their last ten games. The Sacramento Kings are also coming off of a loss, but they're comfortably third in the West after going 7-3 over their last ten games.

The Boston Celtics have proven to be one of the league's best two-way teams, allowing just 112.3 points per game (8th in the NBA) on 46.5% shooting (5th in the NBA) while scoring 117.6 points per game (4th in the NBA) while hitting 15.9 threes (2nd in the NBA) on 37.6% efficiency (7th in the NBA). Through their 5-5 run, the Celtics have allowed opponents to hit 12.6 threes per game while getting outrebounded 47.9 to 45.6.

Sacramento owns the league's best offense, scoring 121.1 points per game (1st in the NBA) on 49.8% shooting from the field. The Kings will want to improve on their last game, a loss where they allowed 128 points on 52.3% overall and 44.4% from three.

The Kings are an excellent offensive team but are also one of the league's poorest defensive teams. This matchup heavily favors the Boston Celtics, as they have the scoring punch to keep up with the Kings and the defense to limit their efforts. We're taking the Celtics to cover the spread against the Kings, who won't be able to limit Boston's scoring wings.
