The Rockets have secured six consecutive victories. Most recently, they contained the fast-paced Chicago team, winning 117-114, and cruised to a 133-96 blowout win over an injured Dallas. Houston will roll over “76ers” with easy as The Rockets have great chances of winning. Given the opponents’ defensive average of 108.7 points allowed per game, head coach Udoka’s squad should step up on offense. Sengun and company are more than capable of fortifying their own basket. Also, the rebounding dominance will have great impact, at 48.6, the Rockets have the best average in the league. Concerns remain over the pace displayed by Udoka’s team, but once things begin to catch fire they get fast, and Smith starts hitting long-range shots while Sengun dominates under the basket. Houston’s motivation is a strong factor as well, being that they are fighting for the second place in the Western Conference.
The visitors will miss Embiid, Gordon, and McCain. The guests need the assistance of Maxey and George, but they just came back from injuries, so expecting any great feats is overly optimistic. Philadelphia has a meager scoring average of only 109.3 points (25th) and their shooting is subpar too, especially from beyond the arc whereby they have a 34.3% conversion rate (27th). With Houston keen to defend the perimeter, significant improvements to these numbers are highly improbable. In addition, their perimeter defense is fairly weak. Because Philadelphia’s main star is no longer available under the basket, they literally can’t get rebounds: only 39.4 (worst in the league). Also, they are overly foul-prone – 19.4 fouls per game (21st). This is likely to be a problem against a physical team like Houston. Philadelphia has lost 8 out of their last 10 games.
