Can Boston Score a Lucky Six in Sacramento?…
It’s a thrilling chapter in the Celtics’ longest and windiest road trip yet, as they land in Sacramento to duke it out with the Kings. These two teams have tangoed before this season, with the Kings swaggering away from Boston with a 114-97 win. But the Celtics, known for their instant turnarounds like a Snapple bottle cap, have notched up five wins since then and are hoping to slam dunk their way to a sixth win.
The road to victory hasn’t been a cakewalk, as the Celts are playing back-to-back after taking out the Portland Trail Blazers. With some key players as likely to appear as a rare PokĂ©mon, Jaylen Brown is questionable with a knee injury following a mysterious vanishing act from recent games. For the Kings, they’re juggling some questionable entries themselves, with Sabonis and Monk caught in a game of “Will They or Won’t They?” featuring full medical drama suspense.
With injury tags aplenty and laundry lists of roster swaps, the Kings have transformed at a trade deadline pace faster than a dad on a dancing game. Their latest remodel? Landing De’Aaron Fox in a three-way deal combo and signing Markelle Fultz. With both teams ready to rumble, like contestants on “America’s Next Top Draft Pick”, let’s see which squad struts out with the win—and which falls flat on the parquet!
