Gambling911.com has your Celtics vs. Kings betting line and fantasy projections for February 20, 2015.
The Boston Celtics were expected to be short-handed against a team that has only won a single game in their last 10 overall. Sacramento was a -3.5 home favorite nonetheless.
Both teams come into this one with nearly identical records of Celtics 20-31 and Kings 18-34. Boston, however, has gone 29-22 Against The Spread and they have gone 8-2 Against The Spread over their last 10 games, winning half of those outright.
In the series, the home team has won 8 of the last 10 games. Sacramento has covered in all of its wins against Boston.
Gambling911.com initially had Jared Sullinger as a fairly solid play against the Kings Friday night in the daily fantasy space but he is now out indefinitely with a foot injury.
The best fantasy play out of this game will be DeMarcus Cousins, who provided 28 points (9-20 FG, 10-12 FT), 19 rebounds, five assists, and four blocks in 37 minutes in the loss to Milwaukee on Wednesday.
Darren Collison was expected to be out for the first game against Boston Friday night. This will lead to Cousins getting even more minutes. Coupled with the Celtics being short-handed, Cousins comes in as a strong play for Friday night.
With this in mind, Cousins did struggle against Boston the last time he faced them but the Celtics currently rank 21st against opposing centers. Cousins last performance against them can be considered a bit of a fluke.
