Kings vs Celtics prediction

The Celtics are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home with the rest advantage. However, the Celtics have nothing to play for, as they already clinched the top seed in the NBA. The Celtics also have a questionable White and Brown. While the Kings played last night and are still without Monk, they’re fighting to stay out of the play-in tournament and need all of the wins they can get. We’re getting a boatload of points with the team that has motivation to play. The Celtics at this stage are waiting for the postseason to start and could be down two key players. Give me the Kings and the free buckets.
