the Kings and Celtics have split the season series in each of the past 3 seasons.
Boston Celtics
the Celtics have a very balanced team that ranks 9th in the league in scoring and 7th in opponents’ points allowed.
Boston is led by their backcourt with 2 guards as their leading scorers in Isaiah Thomas (20.8 ppg) and Avery Bradley (16.1 ppg).
One area of concern for the Celtics in this game is that they do not have a legit C, as their starter is Jared Sullinger and while he is averaging in double figures and is averaging 9.3 rpg he is only 6’9”. He will need help guarding Cousins, who is 6’11” and 270 pounds.
Defense is key for the Celtics success, as they have limited opponents to an average of 89.7 pppg in 10 wins, but have surrendered 107.3 ppg in 8 losses.

The Boston defense will have their hands full facing a Sacto offense that ranks 4th I nthe NBA in points per game.
Sacramento Kings
While the Kings have a dynamic offense their defense has not gotten it done this season ranking 29th in opponents’ points per game.
Cousins is averaging 28.2 ppg and 11 rpg and keeping him from having a big night has to be the #1 priority for Boston.
The Kings have 6 players averaging in double figures and they are balanced. Rajon Rondo has had a solid first season for the Kings and he leads the NBA in assists per game. The Boston backcourt has to keep him from solid ball movement in this game.
