Ahead of the primetime matchup, the Celtics and Rockets revealed their official injury reports for Monday night's game. Boston star Derrick White will miss the game due to a shin injury. He was added to the injury report on Sunday and will now miss his third game of the regular season.

The Rockets ruled out wing Cam Whitmore (illness) and have been without starting forward Jabari Smith Jr. since Smith fractured his hand earlier this month. Amen Thompson and Tari Eason, who both missed the first Celtics-Rockets game on Jan. 3, both were available for Houston.

Kristaps Porzingis scored a season-high 34 points and collected 11 rebounds to help the Boston Celtics breeze to a 122-100 victory over the visiting Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night.
