The Boston Celtics make the trip to Texas to face the Houston Rockets for the second time this season as the Rockets hope for revenge — and Boston to get back in the win column after their narrow loss to the Denver Nuggets. The Celtics should win this one handily, but if they look past an improved Houston squad, they will be doing the wrong sort of streaking for just the second time this season (the Celtics have only lost consecutive games once this entire season).
