The Boston Celtics are on the road at the Golden 1 Center to take on the Sacramento Kings on Monday night as they look to extend their winning streak.
Boston enters Monday’s contest amid a five-game winning streak and they have also been victorious in nine of their last 10 games.
They will now look to keep things rolling against a Kings team that has lost two consecutive games and have dropped seven of their last 10 contests.
Ahead of Monday’s game, the Celtics made a massive announcement regarding the availability of their star guard Jaylen Brown.

Brown will return to action on Monday in Sacramento despite him dealing with a right knee injury.
Of course, Brown has missed Boston’s last three games due to his knee injury and he was expected to sit out of Monday’s game before he was upgraded to questionable earlier on Monday after being reevaluated.
This is massive news for the Celtics who will now have their starting five together for the first time in a while since Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday will also suit up for Monday’s contest.
While Brown will return on Monday, the Celtics will be without a couple of their key players as they have ruled out Al Horford due to a left big toe sprain and Xavier Tillman due to a left knee joint sprain.
Boston has also ruled out Sam Hauser due to low back stiffness.
For the Kings, they have ruled out Malik Monk, Devin Carter and Doug McDermott for Monday’s matchup but they will be getting back Domantas Sabonis earlier than expected from an ankle injury.
Fans can catch Monday’s game between the Celtics and Kings from Sacramento at 10:00 p.m. EST.
