The Boston Celtics face off against the red-hot Sacramento Kings, who are missing star point guard De'Aaron Fox. The spread favors the Celtics heavily, but can they cover? Andrew Caley analyzes the matchup and highlights Boston sharpshooter Payton Pritchard as a potential breakout player.
The Boston Celtics return home to find a red-hot Sacramento Kings team waiting for them. While the spread suggests a lopsided Celtics win, Andrew Caley has his eye on one C's sharpshooter who can contribute in a big way.
Will Sacramento be able to keep this one close without its star point guard? Tough to say, but my Kings vs. Celtics predictions andBoston Celtics Fox is the catalyst of this Kings' offense, averaging 26.7 points, 6.2 assists, and 4.9 rebounds per game. So, replacing that production will make keeping up with the Celtics, who rank second in the NBA in offensive rating, even tougher.
What is the trickle-down effect of De’Aaron Fox being out for the Kings? Well for starters, the Sacramento offense will mostly run through Sabonis. The Kings big man has always been a playmaker and is averaging 6.3 assists per game this season.
