Boston at Houston

Premium Pick

Perhaps the two most disappointing teams in the NBA this season has been the Boston Celtics and Houston Rockets. Each, however, is showing signs of life as Boston is 10-3 in their last 13 and Houston is 7-1 in their last eight. The big problem for Houston right now is that Chris Paul is already out, and now James Harden is nursing a calf injury and is questionable. Either way, he is not likely to be healthy and that tears apart the Houston backcourt with Paul already sidelined. Boston is getting monster production from Kyrie Irving who seems to be taking over the missing leadership role on the Celtics. Play on Boston.
