What to Know

  • The Celtics are on the second leg of a road back-to-back after winning in Orlando yesterday.
  • The 5-1 Celtics are in third place early in the East, while the 6-1 Rockets are in second place in the West.
  • Houston lost its first game on Friday in Dallas, but returned home to beat the Thunder on Saturday.
  • Ime Udoka's Rockets went 1-1 vs. the Celtics last year, and he's 2-4 overall vs. his former team.
  • Alperen Sengun (22.8) and Kevin Durant (22.0) lead the Rockets in scoring, while Marcus Smart is a key bench player.

The Celtics are back to work for the second leg of a road back-to-back, after pulling away in the fourth quarter for a 108-97 win in Orlando on Sunday.

The Celtics will be without veteran Paul George this evening, which will likely be the norm in such back-to-back spots, but they will have Jayson Tatum, who's fresh off being named Eastern Conference Player of the Week.

Tatum averaged 30.3 points, 7.0 assists and 5.3 rebounds last week, hitting the buzzer-beater in OT to beat the Nets and leading the Celtics to a 4-0 week.

This will be a tough test for Tatum and the C's, though, so follow the live blog for updates, highlights and analysis all game long.
