Kings vs Celtics Pickswise Expert Predictions

Game Totals Pick
Under 220.0(-110)

The Sacramento Kings head to Boston in a matchup that could trend slower than usual, especially with Jaylen Brown listed as doubtful. Brown has been Boston’s offensive engine this season, averaging 29.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 4.9 assists, and his absence would significantly reduce the Celtics’ shot creation and scoring ceiling. Even with Brown in the lineup, Boston averages about 116.4 points per game, but they’ve recently struggled to find rhythm, including a 117-106 loss to Atlanta where outside shooting faltered. Without Brown, Boston is more likely to lean on deliberate half court sets, prioritizing efficiency and defensive control over pace.

Sacramento’s profile further supports a lower scoring script. The Kings rank 28th in offensive efficiency, scoring just 110.5 points per game, and while their defense allows 120.6 points per game, they rarely push games into track meets. Sacramento often plays at a controlled tempo, relying on longer possessions that limit total volume rather than explosive runs. Recent head to head history also supports moderation, including Boston’s 120-106 win on January 1, a game that never threatened extreme scoring despite a comfortable margin. With the Celtics likely slowing things down at home and Sacramento lacking consistent offensive firepower, this matchup sets up as a lackluster evening at TD Garden.
