Coming off of two consecutive losses, the Sacramento Kings continue their seven-game home stand against the NBA's defending champion Boston Celtics on Monday night.

The Celtics have been in much more of a rhythm than Sacramento, riding a five-game winning streak, and have won ten of their last 11. Monday's cross-conference matchup will be a huge test for the Kings as they try to avoid slipping out of the playoff picture, while the Celtics are looking to continue their dominance.

The Kings have been playing without star center Domantas Sabonis for the last three games due to an ankle sprain, and he missed six consecutive games shortly before that due to a hamstring strain. Sabonis' injury luck has been down the drain recently, but with the playoff race heating up, the Kings star is ready to get back on the court.

Kings star guard Malik Monk is also listed on Monday's injury report and will officially miss his second consecutive game due to illness. Since trading away De'Aaron Fox, Monk has stepped up as the team's primary point guard and now Sacramento will have to go without him against a star-studded Celtics team.

The Celtics have listed All-Star forward Jaylen Brown as questionable for Monday's game due to right knee posterior impingement. The Kings could catch a much-needed break if Brown sits on Monday night, especially since Boston's depth has already taken a hit.

The Kings and Celtics tip off at 7 p.m. PST in Sacramento on Monday.
