On Wednesday, the Sacramento Kings will be visiting the Boston Celtics in a game between two of the top 10 scoring teams in the NBA. During the 2013-14 season, the Kings and the Celtics split their two-game regular season series.
The Kings couldn't get their offense going in the middle quarters of their game against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night and ended up losing 107-99 on the road. They did ended up shooting 48.7 percent from the field in that game, but they also ended up turning the ball over 21 times.
So far this year, the Kings are one of the better rebounding teams in the Western Conference, but they are giving up nearly 105 points per game. They have relied heavily on center DeMarcus Cousins, who is averaging 24.7 points, 12.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game this season.
Last Saturday, the Celtics lost their fourth game in a row when the Washington Wizards beat them 101-88 on the road. Boston had 18 turnovers in that loss and were only able to make 40.5 percent of their shots.
Through 18 games, the Celtics have one of the worst defenses in the NBA by allowing their opponents to average 104.4 points per game against them. Small forward Jeff Green currently owns a 16 PER and is leading the team in scoring with 18.9 points per game. Power forward Jared Sullinger has scored 13.3 points per game while grabbing a team-high 7.8 rebounds per game.
