Robert Williams is set to make his return after he wasn’t listed on the Celtics’ injury report ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Kings.
That means the Celtics should be at virtually full strength for the first time since Williams’ injury March 3.

More questionable decisions on their way. Interesting Kings options for tonight’s Prize Picks partnership. Not sure Fox and Sabonis will play major minutes. Keegan is starting to score again and Curry needs a win.
