Summary

There you have it, my preview for the game between the Sacramento Kings and the Boston Celtics on February 8, 2017.

This is yet another game where the Kings look like the deck is stacked against them.  Star player out, missing four players total, the opponent is riding a seven-game winning streak, and defeated Sacramento three straight times.  These always seem to be the games where the Kings come out and surprise me, so let us hope that trend continues tonight.
