The Boston Celtics (32-18) visit the Houston Rockets (31-17) in an NBA 2025-26 game on Wednesday, February 4, at the Toyota Center.
This is the second time that the Celtics and the Rockets will face each other. Their first matchup this season was way back on November 1, 2025, when the Rockets handily won, 128-101. All five Rockets starters scored in double digits in that win, with Kevin Durant's 26 points leading the way.
The Rockets have also been on a winning note recently, beating the Indiana Pacers, 118-114, last Monday. The result was closer than expected, and the Rockets have Alperen Sengun's double-double performance of 39 points and 16 rebounds to thank for.
However, Durant didn't play in that game due to an ankle injury. He's still listed as day-to-day in the team's injury report for the rematch against the Celtics.
Speaking of the Celtics, they're also on a three-game winning streak, having recently defeated the Dallas Mavericks, 110-100. Jaylen Brown led the charge with his 33 points and 11 rebounds, while Payton Pritchard contributed 26 markers off the bench.
It remains to be seen if the Celtics will field Nikola Vucevic, who they recently acquired in exchange for Anfernee Simons.

Our Houston Rockets vs Boston Celtics Prediction
The Rockets convincingly defeated the Celtics in their first go-around this season, but the former have bounced back since. They've built a 2nd-ranked offensive rating, with All-Star wing Jaylen Brown leading the way.
Moreover, the Rockets might also be without Kevin Durant, who is recovering from an ankle injury. Houston is still the favorites, but Boston might have enough to keep this a close game. Our prediction for the Houston Rockets vs Boston Celtics match is: Celtics (+5.5) cover the spread.
