    Plus it's an afternoon game, Celtics have already won 10 in a row. I'm wondering if they are going to drop one today in a close game. My gut tells me Celtics will win though.

    Celtics are missing Hayward and Kanter... I take that back. Looks like Kanter is returning. Small line due to potential chemistry issues? We know Kanter doesn't play defense. He puts a hell of an effort in on the offensive end though.

    I had to create an account for this game lol. I am curious as well as to why there are some picks for sac? I get that not everyone will have the same bet, but fox and bagley are out, its really just hield and barnes. I am also wondering why the line is so low? Feel like I am missing something here.

    If you guy's haven't noticed, the Kings are playing pretty well and knocking down a lot of 3s. They've won 3 of there last 5, and almost went 5 for 5 with close losses to Toronto and LA on the road. The Celtics also almost lost the last game to a very poor GS team that lost Dlo in the game. If Boston, comes out like they did in GS, then I see a Kings win. Kings are hungry and this game is much bigger for them and their crowd.

    I hear you, maybe those are the reasons the line is low. But my response would be, Kings seem to have good runs but have a hard time closing it out, or at least that's what recent history shows. The Celtics on the other hand, are ECF contenders - even currently with Hayward out. The SACs aren't. Not even with Fox & Bagley healthy and in (but they're out). In SACs last five the only noteworthy win was the Jazz -- but Fox was in that game. You may be right for the reason, and anything can happen ocf they could win. I just don't see why the line is that low
