Our Betting Pick for Today

Betting on the game! Celtics -4.5

Monday evening the Sacramento Kings take on the Utah Jazz in an inter-conference battle between two of basketball's elite teams. Two nights ago, Sacramento defeated Washington Wizards 118-91. It remains to be seen if Sacramento elects to rest some players for this one, though that wouldn't surprise me. Boston has been hit hard lately but Al Horford and Marcus Smart should both be back; coach Mike Brown likely does his players a favor by giving either De'Aaron Fox or Damontas Sabonis the night off. Boston boasts one of basketball's best shooting teams while Sacramento ranks 25th in three-point defense - take Boston Celtics!

Bet the over on this game. Both teams are good at scoring points ad I look for the game to be played in the 120’s.
