The Boston Celtics look to pick up another win when they take on the Houston Rockets on Tuesday following a big Christmas Day win over the Milwaukee Bucks. The Celtics (24-10) have been playing excellent basketball, 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. 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 to pick up a win without Mazzulla on the sidelines.

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