The Boston Celtics will be looking to close the gap on the Eastern Conference-leading Cleveland Cavaliers with an eighth straight victory Wednesday night when they open a four-game western road trip against the faltering Sacramento Kings.
Boston hits the road after sweeping a four-game homestand to extend its current straight-up win streak to seven games ahead of Wednesday night’s Celtics vs. Kings betting matchup at Golden 1 Center.
The Celtics’ current tear marks their longest win streak since winning seven straight games in February 2013 and has moved the team to within 2 1/2 games of the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference standings.
