Bucking away

The game of the week lands this Wednesday when the Sacramento Kings host the Boston Celtics.

Both teams are within touching distance of 1st in their respective Conferences and both lead their divisions.

The Kings are close to the surprise packet of the NBA this year, with a team of young guns led by De'aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis.

On the flip side MVP candidate Jason Tatum continues to star for Boston who are always a challenge no matter if at home or travelling.

Should be a thrilling game.

Boston Celtics @ Sacramento Kings

The Kings are in action on Tuesday against the Utah Jazz. This means they will enter this game on a back to back and this races more questions than answers.

We won't know until the game time decisions if Sacramento opts to sit some of their players for this one, but it would not surprise.

Boston has been dealing with a ton of injuries, but Al Horford and Marcus Smart should be back.

Boston is one of the best teams from beyond the arc, and the Kings are 25th in three-point defense.

Take the Celtics to win.
