Celtics lost 116-105 by Rockets at Houston. In the first half, they were better than their opponents, but in the second half, Houston scored 69 points, so Celtics were unable to keep the lead in scoring. That was the first defeat after six victories in a row.

Six players of Boston were double-digit in scoring, with Hayward and Brown to score 20 and 19 points respectively. Theis grabbed nine rebounds.

The expected line up for Celtics is Walker, Brown, Tatum, Hayward, and Theis.

However, Browin is a game time decision, while the same counts for Williams also. We will find out some minutes before the jumpball of the game.

Clippers lost at Philadelphia 110-103. It was a tight game, but finally, 76ers were better than the Clippers. Leonard was the first scorer having 30 points, while he served 9 assists, but his performance was not enough for his team to win.

In their last three games on the road, Clippers have lost two games, and they have to improve their away record to fight for the 1st or even the second place in West Conference.

The expected line up for Clippers is Williams, George, Leonard, Morris, and Zubac.

The only problem for Clippers is that Patrick Beverley is inactive due to injury.

Last decade, the two teams have faced each other at Boston in 9 games. Celtics have 4 wins, while Clippers have won 5 times.
