The Celtics have been playing excellent defensive basketball of late limiting their last 5 opponents to a combined 39.8% from the field. While they will have their hands full with the Rockets this team is motivated after losing to them earlier in the season. Houston is in a tough spot playing their 3rd game in 4 nights and they have to play yet again tomorrow making it 4 games in 5 nights. I'm expecting them to struggle scoring tonight especially since they rely on their starters to score 75% of the points. Boston's bench has played extremely well of late and that will be the difference. Boston is 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Still a lot of hype with Harden and I think the Celtics veterans know it and they are hot right now look for the Celtics to continue their winning streak.
