Premium Pick

Boston may be home, but they're not doing anything right on a 0-4 SU/ATS run. They were favored over Brooklyn and lost at home giving up 109 points and come off a 101-88 loss at Washington. Boston was outrebounded 48-36 by Washington. The Celtics are 2-5 ATS against the Western Conference. Boston is not a good rebounding team and into town comes Sacramento and big man DeMarcus Cousins. Sacramento is #9 in the NBA in scoring and #8 in rebounding. Cousins is averaging 28.2 points while shooting 55.1% in five games since missing 10 with viral meningitis. He scored 24 and grabbed 13 rebounds Monday in the opener of a four-game road trip. Boston's average of 47.4 points allowed in the paint per game ranks #29 in the NBA, so grab the visitors and play on Sacramento.
