As the new year begins, the Sacramento Kings will face a tough challenge at home against the Boston Celtics. The two teams' current season performances present a stark contrast. The Kings have struggled recently, with only 8 wins in 33 games, resulting in a significant points differential of about 11 points per game. Their win rate is just above 20%, and they are in a losing streak, winning only two of their last six games. Looking closer, the Sacramento team hasn't shown any advantage, either at home or away. Even at their home court, they have a record of five wins and ten losses, with a win rate of only one-third. Their away game statistics are even more dismal, with only three wins and fifteen losses, far below a 25% win rate, and are currently in a long losing streak. In contrast, the Celtics appear more confident. The Green Team ranks relatively high in the league, with a win-loss record of 20-12, leading their opponents by over ten wins. They have a scoring advantage of about six points per game, currently holding the third position in the Eastern Conference standings and maintaining good momentum. Considering the semi-final timeframe, the Sacramento Kings are at a disadvantage, regardless of the overall sample or the specific scenario of home and away teams. The Eastern Conference powerhouse, though showing some decline later on, still has a higher dominance index and possesses stronger scoring ability in the final ten minutes. 01-02 11:00 Sacramento Kings Boston Celtics Match Direction: 9.5, Sacramento Kings Win
