Rockets at Celtics: Monday’s stream, lineups, injury reports and broadcast info
Led by strong showings from rookies Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun, the Houston Rockets saw clear progress on Saturday in New York. It was not, however, quite enough to break their 14-game losing streak.
In the conclusion of a four-game road trip, could Monday be the day? Green played quite well in his first matchup against the Celtics last month, scoring a career-high 30 points on 8-of-10 shooting from 3-point range (80.0%). That still wasn’t enough to secure a win at the time, but it gave Houston’s a puncher’s chance, and that’s all the young Rockets can reasonably hope for on the road versus a perennial playoff team.
Here’s when you should tune in to see Monday’s rematch:
Date: Monday, Nov. 22
Time: 6:30 p.m. Central
TV Channel: AT&T SportsNet Southwest, NBA League Pass

Starting lineups
Houston Rockets (1-15)
Guard: Eric Gordon

Forward: Jae’Sean Tate
Forward: Christian Wood
Center: Daniel Theis
Boston Celtics (9-8)
Guard: Marcus Smart
Guard: Jaylen Brown
Forward: Jayson Tatum
Forward: Al Horford
Center: Robert Williams III
Boston will be getting some significant reinforcements for Monday’s game. All-Star guard Jaylen Brown (right hamstring strain) and big man Robert Williams III (left knee tendinopathy) have missed the last eight and three games, respectively, but both will return versus Houston.
Kevin Porter Jr. will miss a third straight game for the Rockets due to a left thigh contusion. Otherwise, Houston’s injury report is clean.
