5* GOW Take #504 'under' 193 Boston/Sacramento (10:05pm est):
No doubt when healthy like they are these days, the Boston Celtics remain one of the of top defensive teams in the NBA and especially when they have a big challenge on their hands. Don't expect Boston to take this Sacramento team lightly as the Kings have been playing very well of late. Boston has gone 'under' in four of their last five games as a road favorite and in this type of spot really bring their best defensive effort on the road. They have also slowed down the fast teams from the NBA Pacific division by holding them to under in 20 of their last 29 games when going against them.
The big turnaround for the Kings of late has too do with their team defense as they have held four straight teams too under 97 points each. Sacramento knows to beat the good teams like the Celtics they have too do it with their defense as they have gone 'under' in nine of their last eleven games against teams with a winning record. This is a big game for the Kings franchise and a chance too show their recent strong play hasn't been a fluke. Expect Sacramento too be ready to go with an all out effort in this one.
