Houston Rockets (21-11) will host Boston Celtics (23-9) in a non-conference thriller on Friday night at the Toyota Center. The Rockets have so far given a good account of themselves in the West, sitting in the third spot, 5.5 games behind the Thunder at the top. They could be further up in the standings if not for their recent loss of form. The Rockets have dropped four of the last 10 matches and will seek to stop their two-game slide against the Mavs on Wednesday night before hosting the defending champs. Boston has also not lived up to expectations lately after dropping five of their last 10 games. Although they are still second in the East, they are 4.5 games behind the red-hot Cavaliers, with the Knicks giving them a good chase in the third spot. They cannot afford to run out of gas at this crucial stage of the season.

Our Houston Rockets vs Boston Celtics Prediction
Houston and Boston need to rediscover their lost form as they give chase in their respective Conference. A win would be a huge statement for either side about their ambitions this season. Sadly, for Houston, Boston has a superior head-to-head record after winning seven of their previous eight clashes. The defending champions have also won three of their previous four visits to Houston. Boston is likely to have Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) and Jrue Holiday (shoulder) fit for this matchup, whereas Tari Eason (lower leg) and Jae’Sean Tate (illness) should be back for the hosts. We expect a closely contested game on Friday. Our prediction for Houston Rockets vs Boston Celtics: Boston Celtics for the win.
