Brooklyn Nets will lock horns against Los Angeles Lakers in NBA 2021-22 on Wednesday, 26 January 2022 at 06:00 AM IST
The Kings will head into this game on the back of a 127-133 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. With their third loss in a row, they will look to improve upon their 16-30 record for the season.
Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics are coming off a 116-87 blowout win against the Washington Wizards. Snapping a two-game losing streak on the road, the Celtics will look to build on this momentum at home.
This will be the first matchup of the two-game season series between the sides. Although both teams will look to go one up for the season, the game may be a little one-sided.
Sacramentos loss to the Milwaukee Bucks saw the team fall to 16-30 on the season. With their third loss in a row, the Sacramento Kings have also logged a 2-3 record in their last five games.
The loss to the Bucks saw an impressive first quarter by the Kings. Recording 35 points against the Bucks 27, Sacramento dominated the quarter. However, a strong first quarter was followed by an equally poor outing in the second quarter. With a significant deficit going into the second half, the Kings fought hard but came up short in the fourth quarter.
Solid performances by Harrison Barnes, Tyrese Haliburton and Terence Davis kept the Sacramento Kings within striking distance. Unfortunately, a poor outing by the Kings bench would see an imbalance in scoring output.
A key player for the Sacramento Kings in Tuesdays game will be Harrison Barnes. In the absence of DeAaron Fox, Barnes is one of the most consistent players on the Kings roster. While also considering his role as a two-way player, Sacramento will look to the veteran to play a big role in this game.
Harrison Barnes is coming off a 29-point outing in the game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Shooting a highly efficient 11-18 from the field, Barnes also contributed with 3-6 shooting from beyond the arc on the night, which saw him reach a career milestone of 10,000 points.
The Boston Celtics are coming off one of their best wins of the season featuring a one-of-a-kind night by Jayson Tatum. The Celtics have a 24-24 record and find themselves at .500 again.
Although Boston has lost their last two games at home, this win on the road is a great motivator for the side. With Marcus Smarts recent return to the rotation, the Celtics have virtually no players out as they head into their next matchup.
The game against Washington could be considered a statement win. Although Boston recorded 13 turnovers for the game, they recorded a great three-point outing of 48.7% while also dominating on the rebounding front by securing 57 rebounds.
The performance bodes well for Boston as they log a 3-2 record in their last five games. Looking to improve and go over .500 in their next game, the Celtics will also attempt to ride the momentum from Tatums tremendous performance.
Jayson Tatum will be a key player for the Boston Celtics in Tuesday nights game. A 51-point performance by Tatum on Sunday will see him as the focal point of Bostons offense yet again.
While Tatums high scoring night was a highlight, he also paired it with seven assists and 10 rebounds to secure a double-double in his performance. Shooting 18/28 from the field, Tatum managed to break out his shooting slump from beyond the arc as he shot 9-14 on the night as well.
Jayson Tatum has always been a high volume shooter. This is reflected in the numbers he produces as he registers an average of 25.8 points per game for the season.
Tatum finding his rhythm is a great sign for the Boston Celtics. With the hope that he stays on a hot streak, the Celtics will head into this next game with a lot of momentum.
