Rockets vs 76ers Predictions and Picks
Houston is currently 12th in points, fourth in points allowed, and fourth in point differential. Kevin Durant leads the team in points per game. The Rockets are 11-12 on the road and 5-5 in their last 10 games. the second-year guard Sheppard has been critical during the Rockets' win streak and Durant provides veteran stability for the young roster. Houston will look for a better start on offense and keep the shooting from the field numbers high.
Philadelphia is currently 15th in points, 14th in points allowed, and 14th in point differential. Tyrese Maxey leads the team in points per game and assists per game. The 76ers are 11-12 at home and 5-5 in their last 10 games. Maxey remains the offensive engine for a Sixers team dealing with frontcourt health issues and Edgecombe is emerging as the Rookie of the Year candidate. The 76ers have lost three of their last four games and just aren't getting enough scoring depth, but the defense is keeping them in games.
Best Bet: 76ers Money line
The Rockets have lost their last four road games and the road offense has struggled as well. The Sixers are still without two of their best players but still have some close games going for them and just need to take care of the ball.
