The Sacramento Kings and the Boston Celtics are set to clash at the start of the new year in what promises to be an exciting game. The Kings have had a poor season so far, particularly in terms of scoring efficiency and defensive performance. In contrast, the Celtics have a clear advantage in both offensive firepower and overall coordination. Looking back at the last thirty-three games, the Kings have a record of 8 wins and 25 losses. They are among the bottom teams in the Western Conference, both in overall record and in home/away splits. Their biggest problem is the imbalance between offense and defense, leading to a net deficit of 11.3 points per game. Their home form has improved, but only to a deficit of 10.6 points, and they have suffered a 5-game losing streak on the road, being outscored by an average of 11.89 points per game. In the most recent six games, they had a two-game winning streak followed by two consecutive losses. During this period, their offensive struggles were particularly evident, scoring nearly twelve points less per game (with a point difference of -12), clearly unable to compete with the Celtics. Meanwhile, the Green Army has secured twenty wins in thirty games this season and firmly holds a top position in the Eastern Conference. Their overall offensive efficiency is remarkable, averaging nearly six points more than their opponents (specifically, a positive +6.1). They have also maintained good form on the road, with fourteen wins proving the team's ability to consistently perform well. In recent weeks, they have won four times with only one loss, indicating that the Celtics are in high spirits and ready to strive for higher goals. 01-02 11:00 Sacramento Kings Boston Celtics Match direction: 9.5, Sacramento Kings win
