As the season approaches its climax, two playoff teams, the Sacramento Kings and the Boston Celtics, are preparing for a pivotal cross-country face-off this Friday night.

Will Jayson Tatum Play Against the Kings Tonight? 

Tonight, Boston Celtics' leading scorer Jayson Tatum, who contributes 27.2 points per game (PPG), will not be sidelined due to any injuries.

Tatum, who also records 8.3 rebounds per game (RPG) and 4.9 assists per game (APG), is their best three-point shooter with an average of 3.1 successful attempts per game. 

Demonstrating impressive consistency, he has managed to score 20 or more points in his last dozen games.


The Boston Celtics have already locked in the top spot in the Eastern Conference. With a considerable lead of 13 games over the Bucks and just six left to play, no team can surpass them.

As the season's end grows near, the coaching staff faces crucial decisions. They must determine whether they should maintain their rotation strategy to preserve the team's rhythm or incorporate more bench players into the mix to rest their star players.

Jaylen Brown, who averages 23.2 PPG, is currently on the injury list and may not play against the Kings. The team's third-leading scorer, Porzingis, averages 20.4 PPG and stands as the rim's key defender with 1.9 blocks per game.

In their most recent match against the Thunder, the Celtics showed no mercy, securing a sweeping 35-point victory led by a 27-point performance from Kristaps Porzingis.

In that same game against the Thunder, the Celtics stuck to their standard starting five, each playing a minimum of 29 minutes. Jaylen Brown is on the brink of hitting the 10,000 career points milestone, needing just 17 more to achieve it.

About to embark on their final road trip of the year, the Sacramento Kings have their schedule full with four games within six days in New York, Boston, Brooklyn, and Oklahoma City. After this tour, they'll head back home to finish the season with three home games.
