LiontipsSacramento - Boston: NBA match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current formThe Kings are going through a difficult stretch of the season. Two losses in a row, 35 wins in 70 matches — the team is in ninth place in the Western Conference, which means that the path to the playoffs goes through the playoffs. In the last match against Milwaukee, Doug Christie's team fought to the last, but still lost — 108:114.
One of the positive aspects is the stable performance of the leaders. Demar Derozan scored 22 points, Keon Ellis scored 20, and Jonas Valanciunas scored 18. However, the team's game did not look solid, and without Domantas Sabonis, who continues to recover from injury, the Kings are experiencing serious problems in defense and under the shields.
Disqualifications and injuries
The main loss is Domantas Sabonis, one of the key players of the team. His absence makes the Kings' game less balanced, especially in the fight under the ring.
Interesting facts for betting
In the last ten head-to-head matches, Sacramento has averaged 103 points.
Approximate composition: Malik Monk, Zach Lavigne, Demar Derozan, Keegan Murray, Jonas Valanciunas
Current background
But things are going much better for the Celtics. Five wins in a row, 52 victories in a season — and this officially gives Joe Mazzulla's team a ticket to the playoffs. In the last match, Boston did not give Portland a chance (129:116), even without Kristaps Porzingis.
Jason Tatum again showed a high level, scoring 30 points and stopping a step away from a triple-double (nine rebounds, nine assists). Sam Hoser (24 points) and Derrick White (17 points) also made significant contributions. The team is on the move, and it looks like they're determined to extend their winning streak in California.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jaylen Brown continues to be treated, but there is a possibility of Kristaps Porzingis returning, who is in Day-To-Day status.
Approximate composition: Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, Al Horford, Jason Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis.

1.87Tip and bets
The bookmakers don't believe at all in Sacramento's success in the upcoming match. BC experts believe that the guest team will have a much better chance of success. In general, that's the way it is. Boston has scored a great move and is demolishing all competitors in its path. There was an offensive misfire a week ago in a match with Western leader Oklahoma, but it's not so offensive. The Kings are already fighting a desperate battle to get into the playoffs. It's more difficult to count on. Moreover, Sabonis cannot recover in any way. Mazzulla's wards will have to achieve victory.
Our betting tip is for Boston to win by a handicap of (-3.5) points, including overtime in 1.81
Bet on the total
Face-to-face meetings of these teams rarely delight with high performance. The average total of their last ten matches is 214 points. Now both teams are more concerned about the tournament position than the spectacular game.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 231.5 points in 2.09
The bet on the player
Jason Tatum is a key figure for the Celtics this season. He is not only the team's leader in key indicators, but also the sixth most productive in the entire league (27.2 points on average per match). In five of the last six meetings, he scored 25+ points.
Our prediction is that Tatum will score more than 27.5 points in 1.87
