Houston Rockets vs. Philadelphia 76ers game preview

The Philadelphia 76ers are the only team left in the NBA that can sweep the Houston Rockets.

Houston rides into this game on a 7-game winning streak and just one game behind in the race for home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

The Sixers are currently eighth in the Eastern Conference and one back in the loss column from being in fifth place (at the time of writing). They’re also two up in the loss column from 10th place, so there’s quite a range of spots for them to fall into. Obviously, they will be trying hard to win to avoid the play-in.

For Houston, tonight is about continuing to build upon their recent success and execute a decent NBA offense heading into the postseason and offseason. The Rockets have slipped on their “30 assists per game” streak, but a new streak could start tonight.
