Game Notes
The Celtics go for a league high 6 straight wins as they host the Sacramento Kings.   The Kings, on the other hand, will be trying to avoid their 6th straight loss.  Last season, these teams tied the series 1-1 with each team winning on their home court. 

The Kings are playing in the second of back to back games on the road.  They lost to the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday 101-83 and then had to travel to Boston afterwards.  This is their second back to back set of the season and they are 0-1 so far on the second night of back to backs games. 

Marcus Morris is targeting this game to make his debut with the Celtics.  He practiced Monday with the Red Claws and on Tuesday with the Celtics with no setbacks.  He sounded confident that he could play in this game but the final decision will be made by the medical staff.  Harry Giles (knee) is out for the Kings. 

Both coaches have shuffled their starting lineups several times in this young season with the Kings doing so even more than the Celtics.  I have included the starters from each team's last game, however, these may change before game time. 

Key Matchups
(http://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Horford_Al_bos1617.jpg) vs (https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Randolph_Zach_sac17.jpg)
Al Horford vs Zach Randolph
Randolph  has lost a step or two from his prime, but he is still a very strong player who can bully his way to wherever he wants to go on the court.  He is averaging 9.3 points, 7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists.  He is shooting 42% from beyond the arc and so Horford will need to stay with him both in the paint and on the perimeter. 

(https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Irving_Kyrie_bos17.jpg) vs (https://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/profiles/photos/2006/Hill_George_sac17.jpg)
Kyrie Irving vs George Hill
Hill is averaging 9.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists.  He is shooting 48.6% from the field and 50% from beyond the arc, so if he is open, chances are he will make the Celtics pay. 

Honorable Mention
Aron Baynes vs Willie Cauley-Stein
Cauley-Stein is averaging 10.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2 assists.   Baynes has proved that he is up to the task of protecting the paint and limiting opposing centers and should be able to continue that trend against Cauley-Stein. 

Keys to the Game
Rebound - Much of rebounding is effort and desire.  The Celtics have to put out extra effort  to grab the rebounds on both ends of the court.   By doing so, they limit the second chance points and fast breaks for the Kings and also give themselves extra possessions.   The Celtics have been rebounding very well this season with 46.4 rebounds per game, good for 6th in the league.  The Kings are 21st with 42.6 rebounds per game. 

Defense
- The Celtics have been playing great defense so far this season. They are first in the league with a defensive rating of 95.6.  The Kings are 24th with a defensive rating of 107.6.    Defense wins games.   The Celtics must continue to make defense a priority. 

Be Aggressive - The Celtics must be the more aggressive team. They have to go after loose balls, rebounds and also be more aggressive defensively. They have to be aggressive in going to the basket and also in moving the ball.  The more aggressive team usually gets the calls and also the win.  The Celtics have to play like the team that wants it more. 

Run and Move the Ball-  The Celtics play best when they run on every possession and when they keep the ball moving to find the open man.  This is especially important with the Kings playing back to back as they may tire out if the Celtics can keep them running.  They also have to move the ball.  When they tend to dribble too much, the rest of their game seems to become stagnant. 


X-Factors

Home Game -  The Celtics have to take care of their home court.  The Celtics should get a boost from the home crowd and come out focused on protecting home court.  They call it home court advantage for a reason. 

Underestimating - The Kings have won just one game so far.  They are also on the road and playing back to back.  The Celtics have won 5 in a row.  It would be easy for the Celtics to underestimate the Kings and not take them seriously.  The Celtics have to come out and play hard just as if they were playing the Cavs or the Warriors.  No let up!!

This could be a fun one. i can't wait to see Fox. I know The Celtics good play will continue. It's a good game for Tatum to bust back out again in scoring... I hope we have an extended garbage time at the end of this one where the Dancing Bear gets to play some minutes.

This unit runs so much better when Smart runs the point and Rozier acts as an off-ball scorer. Smart has much better decision-making, passing, and floor vision, and Rozier works much better as a scorer for himself than setting up others.

Can't believe how much I am loving the 2017-18 Celtics so far.  Everyone engaged, contributing.  Heads in the game; playing defense; rebounding.  This team isn't giving up big leads like last year.   Love this team.

Horford's been terrific.  Smart, Brown, TR - all exceeding expectations.  Theis and Haynes are a revelation.   And the Veteran Rookie - unreal.    And of course there's the all-star, the injured all-star, and Morris. 

Dang... This team is close!

Not a huge deal because second unit played great. But Brad will play Brown the entire first quarter and he is hot playing great then doesn't play again till 2:30 left in half , kind of kills somebodys rythym. He's been playing him for entire first  quarter then sitting him most of second last few games.Would rather pull him with two minutes left in first bring him back with 6 min or so in 2nd. Sitting out from end of first till under 3 min in half is a long time, seems excessive and breaks rythym.

Well that's the thing. Their defense was just as bad last year, but they had enough offense to completely offset that part of their game. They look positively mediocre now without that elite offense to make up for their terrible defense.

Not that I would trade him for anything, but what is Brown's trade value right now?  Can you imagine if we had Winslow and the Heat had Brown right now?  I think I'd prefer Brown to Avery for the year if you take everything else out of it.  This is just remarkable.

IT was the exact opposite.  he played hard on D but at his size every PG worth their salt would just go right over him

This is a brutal stretch for Nader. If you weren't a fan before, this isn't going to help. Luckily it is mostly masked by the 24 point lead.

That's three times he's lost it off his foot

Well I still think they could get red hot and make a run starting the 2nd half of the season.

But yeah A LOT lies on Isaiah coming back healthy and scoring 25 PPG.

Even then though... their defense sucks. And can't rule out a trade if they decide to deal that BKN pick for a "win now" piece  :(

I'm watching Kyrie playing defense, yeah hardly any difference between him and IT on D.  :angel:
I guess that fallacy is but to rest.

I'm looking ahead to Friday night, that game will be a real test.

This team is so surprising in so many ways, every move Danny made is a home run so far.

I mean, it wasn’t a fallacy.  Irving was a bad defensive player in Cleveland.  He has improved immensely in the early part of this season.

I'd wager Lebron's very worried. Or maybe his mind is already in LA and just doesn't care.

IT may not be ready for quite a while, may not be the same guy, and even if he is, his style of play will greatly disrupt ball-dominant Lebron. I think they'll have mixed results.

Without Kyrie, CLE isn't  nearly as good a team as they were a year ago.

And I think Crowder was great addition by subtraction watching him play worse now

50-26 rebounds for C's

This IS Celtics basketball.....I love our team dominating the boards.  Beautiful

The Kings were killed on the boards. This team can defend and rebound and when the offense irons itself out their will be a lot more blow outs!

good points. this will eventually be a well oiled machine that can play both ends of the court. they are progressing at a rate 10X what i expected. surreal.

Crowder is who his is --  a solid role player.  problem the last year or so he was with the C's is he saw himself as bigger/better than his role as a defensive player that should only shoot when open

We gotta make up for our lack of blowouts last year.  Maybe this year we'll have a point differential that corresponds to our record
