Celtics vs. Rockets live stream: Watch NBA game online

The Boston Celtics and Houston Rockets will square off Saturday night at TD Garden in a matchup between two of the hottest teams in the NBA.

The Celtics have won eight of their last 10 games, led by Jayson Tatum and his incredible scoring run in February. He's averaging 30.5 points per game and shooting 50 percent shooting from 3-point range over 11 games this month. The Celtics frontcourt should receive a boost with the return of second-year center Robert Williams, who has been cleared to play after being sidelined since Dec. 6 because of a left hip injury.

The Rockets also have won eight of their last 10 games, including a five-game win streak. Houston opted for a super small-ball lineup after acquiring Robert Covington in a four-team deal before the trade deadline, and the strategy has worked out quite well for the Rockets. The Celtics match up pretty well with small-ball lineups, and they will be motivated to avenge their frustrating loss to the Rockets in Houston earlier this month.
