Saturday night, the Boston Celtics earned a 145-113 victory vs. the Houston Rockets in Ime Udoka's return to TD Garden.

Already atop the NBA standings, the win improves their record to 30-9. They're also now 19-0 on their parquet, building on what's already the franchise's best start to a season on their home floor.

But as Joe Mazzulla voiced after the game, it's paramount the Celtics don't get too high after a victory or too low after losses. That means extracting from Saturday's tilt what's valuable to their title pursuit and turning their attention to Monday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors.

However, Boston may not have Jaylen Brown in the lineup that night. The team lists him as questionable for its contest north of the border because of right knee hyperextension, an injury he sustained in Saturday's win.

Despite that, the two-time All-Star registered a game-high 32 points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals, and two blocks.

Monday's contest will tip off at 7:30 p.m. EST. Inside The Celtics will have content related to the game before, during, and afterward. Follow @BobbyKrivitsky on Twitter for updates and analysis from pregame to post.
