How much stock does the Houdini put in the latest Boston Celtics 116-87 win over the Washington Wizards this past Sunday afternoon?

Definitely some. Jayson Tatum dropped another 50-burger and the Cs dominated the Wizards on the glass and in the assist column. But Washington has been hurting since starting the season off masquerading as an Eastern Conference contender and is just a half-game ahead of the New York Knicks for the last NBA Play-in tournament.

So, yes, it’s a nice win, and much-needed after losing to the Portland Trail Blazers without Damian Lillard on Friday night. But still, no corner has been turned, and no spread should be considered safe for the Boston Celtics if they’re deemed a heavy favorite by Las Vegas oddsmakers.

They happen to be such tonight against the Sacramento Kings.

Hardwood Houdini has a prediction, odds, and TV information for Tuesday night’s matchup at the TD Garden:

No way the Boston Celtics cover the spread two times in a row, right?

Sacramento is down on their luck, having lost their last three games. One of them was the Detroit Pistons to boot. This seems like a game where Boston can finally build that much elusive momentum that the 2021-22 season has refused to lend to the Celtics.

Each game has been a high-scoring affair for Sacramento, so a low-scoring effort could be due for both teams.

Pick: 219u (-110)
