The Boston Celtics will look to pick up another win as they take on the Houston Rockets on Tuesday at home following a big Christmas Day win over the Milwaukee Bucks. The Celtics have been playing excellent basketball at 24-10, but they will have to win on Tuesday without their leader.
Coach Joe Mazzulla will not coach against the Rockets due to what the team is calling eye irritation and assistant coach Damon Stoudamire will take over the head chair in this one. This will be a good test for Stoudamire and the Celtics to try and pick up a win without Mazzulla on the sidelines.

The Rockets have not been great on the season, but they do have some big-time athletes in Jalen Green, Kevin Porter Jr., and a very solid center in Alperen Sengun. Stoudamire and the Celtics will have o find a way to overcome all of that at home.
