Preview and Analysis for Kings vs Celtics AI Prediction

Let's preview these two teams before I show you how I used the Rithmm App to create custom sports betting models to get my AI prediction.

Kings Preview

Sacramento finds themselves in 11th place in the Western Conference with an 18 - 19 record (tied with the Spurs) and are 12.5 games back of the conference leading Thunder. The Kings are riding a 5-game winning streak and will be playing Boston for the first time this season.

The Kings last played four nights ago and it took two overtimes to put away the Miami Heat 123 - 118 as DeMar DeRozan put in nine of the King's 11 second-overtime points. DeRozan had 30 points on the night as he went 12 of 26 from the floor with three rebounds and four assists while Domantas Sabonis dropped 21 points, 18 rebounds and 11 assists to lift the Kings to their second win without De'Aaron Fox who will now miss his third straight game with a contusion in his right glute. 

Some quick trends:

• The total has gone over in 4 of their last 6 games
• The total has gone under in 6 of their last 9 road games
• The total has gone under in their last 5 road games at Boston

The Kings are ranked 18th in the ESPN NBA Power Index 2024-25.

Celtics Preview

Boston continues to click on all cylinders as they sit comfortably in second place in the Eastern Conference with a 27 - 10 record, 6.0 games back of conference leading Cleveland and 2.5 games ahead of the New York Knicks.

The Celtics are coming off of a four game road trip where they went 3 - 1 and beat the Nuggets Tuesday 118 - 106.

Jayson Tatum once again rang the bell putting up 29 points with four rebounds and six assists along with Kristaps Porzingis who added 25 points and 11 rebounds in the win. Jrue Holiday also added 19 points to go along with three rebounds and seven assists on the night.

Some quick trends:

• The total has gone under in 4 of their last 5 games
• The total has gone under in their last 5 games at home against the Kings
• RANDOM: The total has gone under in 10 of their last 13 games played in January

The Celtics are ranked 3rd in the ESPN NBA Power Index 2024-25.

Models for my Kings vs Celtics AI Prediction

The Celtics are prohibitive favorites tonight as the line has them laying -11.5 to the Kings and, while my models are cautiously leaning to the Kings covering that spread, this is the Celtics and when it comes to scoring, all bets are off.

When I jump over to my Rithmm total models we definitely see more cautious agreement. With a 56.2% win probability and a 53.1% win rate on this model, this is where I'm leaning.

Both teams can put up numbers and while Boston has only allowed more than 110 points three times in their last 10 games, Sacramento has scored more than 110 points in seven of their last 10 games. Correlation does not imply causation so we shouldn't get too excited by those numbers. But when I look at my models and I look at the money being 75% to the over on the bet splits, I just have to take the lean.

I'll be taking the total Over 226.5.
