The Houston Rockets close their road trip in Boston against a Celtics team riding a three-game win streak. Boston has shown resilience with recent wins over Philadelphia and Cleveland, proving they can compete despite roster questions. For Houston, last year’s victory at TD Garden was a turning point, and they’ll look to draw on that confidence tonight.

Boston enters this matchup with momentum, having strung together three straight wins, including a gritty one‑point victory over Philadelphia. Even without Jayson Tatum and a stable frontcourt rotation, the Celtics have leaned on their guard play and defensive intensity to stay competitive. Their ability to grind out wins against quality opponents shows a system that still functions under Joe Mazzulla’s structure.
For Houston, last season’s win in Boston was a confidence‑builder, proving they could measure up against elite competition. With Amen Thompson continuing to grow into a bigger role, the Rockets will look to replicate that formula of pushing pace, attacking mismatches, and relying on their young core’s energy.

The Rockets enter Boston with fresher legs and a style built to push tempo, which could tilt the game in their favor. Expect Houston to lean on Amen Thompson’s pace and Alperen Sengun’s inside play to control rhythm. Boston’s defense will keep it close, but Houston’s energy and balance make them slight favorites to edge this matchup.
