Boston had an easy week with games versus lottery squads Memphis and Charlotte winning both.

The Celtics hold the all-time record having bested the Rockets in 90 of their 140 matches.
Boston Celtics
Heading into the All-Star Break the Celtics were reeling with three consecutive home losses. Since returning the team has accumulated four consecutive victories. Granted the competition wasn’t of elite nature (Detroit, New York, Memphis, Charlotte).
This match versus the Rockets however, offers Boston’s greatest test and Houston will be looking for revenge after losing the initial match between the squads this season.
Kyrie Irving was brilliant in the win over the Hornets with no opponent being able to stop him. He scored 34 points, adding 5 assists and 4 rebounds. Five other players scored in double digits, but none scored more than 15 points.

Daniel Theis missed the game vs. Charlotte with a sore right hamstring and is questionable for this game.
Houston Rockets
Houston bring a 14 game win streak to the court Saturday and will be looking for revenge against the Celtics who are one of the few teams to beat them this season.
James Harden continues to dominate opponents and seems like a lock to win MVP this season after being a bridesmaid in two previous campaigns. Harden is averaging 31.3 points, 8.9 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 1.8 steals.
Clint Capela continues to produce for the Rockets with games like his recent outing when he registered a double-double of 22 points and 14 rebounds. The trio of Capela, Harden and Paul have lost just once when they all play.
