Sunday, March 3, 2019, the Houston Rockets are on the road to face the Boston Celtics in one of several matinee performances on the docket for the NBA. The Rockets last played Thursday when they defeated Miami. Meanwhile, the Celtics last played Friday in a victory over the Wizards..
Last season the teams split their two-game regular season series and in their initial meeting this year the Rockets took the match. The Celtics hold the all-time record having bested the Rockets in 90 of their 142 matches.
Houston Rockets
James Harden continues to wage his battle to capture his second consecutive Most Valuable Player award with his 30 point per game scoring efforts.
Although the streak finally ended versus the Hawks he got back on track scoring 30 against the Hornets and then delivered a robust 58 point performance against the Heat.

With Chris Paul and Clint Capela back in the lineup it offers Harden support and eases the need for him to carry the Rockets on his back. At issue isn’t the scoring however, as the Rockets perform well in the offensive categories.

However, the defensive side of the floor needs to be addressed where the Rockets allow teams to shoot 47.6 percent which ranks 27th in the NBA. Overall Houston rank 25th defensively.
Eric Gordon (sore right knee) missed the game vs the Heat but is expected to play on Sunday. Likewise, Kenneth Faried (sore left hip contusion) also sat for the Miami game but should be back in the lineup.
Gerald Green (strep throat) and Iman Shumpert (sore right calf) are both questionable for the match in Boston on Sunday.
Boston Celtics
Trouble continues to follow the Celtics who are struggling both on and off the court. Four consecutive losses to the Bucks, Bulls, Raptors, and Blazers increased the spotlight on Kyrie Irving and his leadership.
Fortunately, the Celtics ended the skid versus the Wizards but the win didn’t come easy as the Wizards erased a 15 point Celtics lead.

Having fallen off the pace to catch one of the top two seeds (Bucks, Raptors) the Celtics will need to resolve their issues with one of the tougher stretch run schedules remaining.
The Celtics face 11 teams on the road which includes three back to back sets in their remaining 19 games. These last 19 games feature some tough competition with 10 currently seeded teams and another six teams who are chasing playoff berths.
Aron Baynes (left foot contusion) remains out after missing the last 11 games but is expected back in the line mid-month.
