The Sacramento Kings are at home at the Golden 1 Center on Monday night as they face off against the Boston Celtics.
Sacramento enters Monday's game amid a two-game losing streak and they have dropped seven of their last 10 games.
They will have another tough matchup against the red-hot Celtics who have won five consecutive contests and nine out of their last 10 games.

The good news for the Kings is that they could see the return of their superstar center Domantas Sabonis who has been upgraded to questionable with an ankle injury.
Sabonis has been sidelined for the past week due to an ankle sprain but he was able to fully practice on Sunday and could return on Monday against Boston.
Of course, if Sabonis is still sidelined for Monday's game Jonas Valanciunas should continue to fill in for him at the starting center position.
The Sacramento Kings are listing Devin Carter (illness), Malik Monk (illness) and Domantas Sabonis (ankle) as questionable for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. Sabonis has made significant progress in his recovery and was a full participant in Sunday's practice.

Sacramento has also listed Malik Monk and Devin Carter as questionable for Monday's game due to an illness.
Monk missed Saturday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks due to the illness and Keon Ellis should draw another start is Monk is sidelined in Monday's matchup.
If Monk and Carter are sidelined, expect Markelle Fultz to see an uptick in minutes off the bench.
On the other side, the Celtics may also be without a few of their key players in Monday's road matchup against the Kings.

Boston has already ruled out Jaylen Brown due to a knee injury and they have also listed Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday and Al Horford as day-to-day due to injuries.
Porzingis and Holiday both missed Sunday's victory over the Portland Trail Blazers and they are in danger of missing their second consecutive contest on Monday.
If Porzingis is out, expect Horford to draw a start if he is able to play and Sam Hauser and Luke Kornet could also remain in the starting lineup with Brown out and Holiday possibly being sidelined.
Fans can catch Monday's matchup between the Celtics and Kings at 10:00 p.m. EST.
