Kemba Walker (neck) ruled out for Celtics on Monday against Kings
Boston Celtics point guard Kemba Walker (neck sprain) will not play on Monday versus the Sacramento Kings.
What It Means:
Walker has made encouraging progress after taking a scary fall last Friday but he's still going to miss at least one game. It's not clear who will enter the starting lineup, but Brad Wanamaker, Carsen Edwards, Grant Williams, Javonte Green, and Tremont Waters should all mix in to help fill the void. Marcus Smart figures to have the ball in his hand more.
Kemba is averaging 35.8 FanDuel points per game this season. Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Celtics-Kings matchup has the lowest over/under on Monday's 11-game slate (205.0 points).
