The Rockets finish their brief road trip tonight in Boston, where the Celtics are riding momentum from three straight wins. Boston just edged Philadelphia by one point, handing the Sixers their first loss, and previously dominated Cleveland by 20.
Even without Jayson Tatum and a reliable frontcourt rotation, Joe Mazzulla’s group has shown it can compete every night. At 3-3, they’ve steadied themselves early in the season. For Houston, last year’s victory in Boston was a statement, highlighted by Amen’s breakout performance. The Rockets will look to channel that same energy and prove they can hang with a surging opponent.
