Boston has played their last 8 games without starting center Robert Williams III, who has been on the sidelines due to a strained left hamstring. However last Monday, Williams attended team practice and was given permission to play in the upcoming match versus the Kings. Williams should be a massive boost to the Celtics defense that needs all the help rotation wise to finish this road trip.

Sacramento’s defeat at Utah was definitely not expected by the fans, this game ultimately prevented what could have been a 4-0 road win streak after the Kings defeated Chicago, Brooklyn and Washington.
Looking at pure talent this matchup should be incredibly close, with Sabonis and Fox at their peak Sacramento might have a chance to upset a Celtics squad that has been a threat for years. Nevertheless, Boston with Robert Williams III should become the defensive powerhouse they are used to being, ultimately sealing the deal for the Leprechauns.
