Videos: Celtics-Rockets preview and bench energy



The Boston Celtics have their first road game of the season tonight against the Houston Rockets, and in the video above, Marc D'Amico and Emily Austen talk travel, match-ups, and seeing a familiar face on Houston's roster: former Celtic Jason Terry, who is expected to start at point guard.

With Houston winning its last two games, D'Amico feels as though Jared Sullinger is the most capable of the Celtics' in terms of being able to help contain Dwight Howard. Do you agree with him?

In Wednesday's season opener against the Brooklyn Nets, Brad Stevens stated that he was impressed by the performance of the bench players, and that their intensity matched that of the starters. In the video below, Marcus Smart and Evan Turner discuss the importance of bringing that energy to tonight's game.

Tip off is tonight at 8 PM Eastern/7 Central.
