The Rockets feeling are pretty good as this week commences after their back-to-back wins over the Cavs. Yet as much as HC Ime Udoka would like to beat his former employer, however, this matchup vs. the Celtics is arguably more of a challenge, especially considering how Boston toyed with Houston at Toyota Center back on January 3. The Rockets shot only 36% from the floor while scoring a mere 30 points in a humbling second half as the Celtics cruised even without key cog Jaylen Brown. Boston is glad to be back home after a 4-game Western Conference road swing that hit some high notes (125-95 over the Warriors on MLK Day)( and low notes (117-96 loss at the Lakers). Saturday's 122-107 romp past the Mavs, however, might have Boston back on course. Play Celtics
