Rockets vs. Celtics: Live stream, lineups, injury reports and broadcast info – 4/2

·2 min read

The Boston Celtics have lost two winnable games in a row and seven of their last 10, but will likely get two important players back with a little luck when they face the Houston Rockets at TD Garden Friday night. News of Romeo Langford’s potential availability should help the team’s depth even in limited minutes, and a return for Robert Williams III will bring much-needed balance to the frontcourt rotation.

And while this Rockets outfit is far from threatening, it will be a stronger version of itself than the team Boston beat on the road earlier this season, with big man Christian Wood, wing Danuel House and potentially star guard John Wall back in the fold.

This is not a team the Celtics should expect to lie down and take a loss, despite their record.

Injury reports

For the Celtics, second-year wing Romeo Langford may finally make his return after missing much of the last postseason and all of this season to date, as likely will rising big man Robert Williams III, both of whom exiting the most recent injury report from the team. Forward Semi Ojeleye (left side strain) and center Tristan Thompson (health and safety protocols) will be out for the game against Houston. For the Rockets, Wall (left knee effusion) is listed as questionable for the contest, and Eric Gordon (groin), David Nwaba (wrist) and Dante Exum (calf) are all out.
