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.

White (shin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports. White likely picked up the injury during the Celtics' 122-107 win over the Mavericks. Sam Hauser and Al Horford (toe) would be the top two candidates to enter the Celtics' starting lineup if White is unable to play.

The Celtics will be down two rotation players, so expect C’s coach Joe Mazzulla to dip into his bench. The last time the Celtics were shorthanded like this, Jaden Springer emerged off the bench in an impressive game against the Clippers in Los Angeles. Jordan Walsh and Baylor Scheierman could also see some playing time in the rotation.

Amen Thompson had the clutch go-ahead bucket and Dillon Brooks made a franchise record-tying 10 3-pointers in the Rockets' win over the Celtics on Monday.

Amen Thompson hit a game-winning floater with 0.7 seconds left and finished with 33 points to lead the Houston Rockets to a 114-112 victory over the Boston Celtics.

As opponents have tried to dent the Celtics’ championship armor, however, Tatum has remained consistent. He ranks sixth in the NBA in scoring, (26.7 points per game). He has scored at least 30 points in 18 out of 45 games. And he remains on track to finish with career highs in rebounds (9.0) and assists (5.4) per game.

As the trade deadline approaches, here are five thoughts on where the Celtics are at and where they might improve.

Ime Udoka's Rockets were effective in limiting Tatum in the Celtics' loss Monday, but Joe Mazzulla's team adjusted and thrived in beating the Bulls.

Kristaps Porzingis scored 26 of his season-high 34 points in the first half Wednesday night, and the Boston Celtics coasted to a 122-100 victory over the Bulls in the first game of

The Celtics need to execute better, especially during fourth-quarter possessions. They also need to sharpen up on offense and defense.

Kristaps Porzingis went crazy in the first half against the Bulls, setting multiple bests during his time with the Celtics.
