Morning sports update: DeAndre Hopkins referenced a famous Paul Pierce moment

The Celtics face the Suns at TD Garden tonight at 7:30 p.m., while the Bruins welcome the Ducks on Thursday at 7 p.m.

Following their loss to the Steelers, the Patriots face the Bills at Gillette Stadium on Sunday at 1 p.m.

DeAndre Hopkins had his Paul Pierce moment: Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins had a huge game on Saturday, catching 10 passes for 170 yards and two touchdowns. Yet it was a brief moment where it appeared he was injured that conjured a comparison in his mind.

Hopkins tweeted a side-by-side photo comparison of his own injury and Paul Pierce during the 2008 NBA Finals:
