All-Star forward Jalen Williams will miss Wednesday 's game against the Celtics.

He suffered a right hip strain during Oklahoma City's 140-127 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Monday night .

The Nuggets took full advantage of Williams ' absence, scoring 73 points on 67.5% shooting after halftime.

That said: Thanks to those two -way contributions, a number of advanced metrics — estimated plus-minus, value over replacement player, box plus-minus, ESPN ’s net points, etc. — peg Williams as a top-15- to-25 player this season . Even for a team as loaded as Oklahoma City , losing a player that valuable hurts — especially against an opponent as dangerous as Boston ..
