76ers vs. Rockets: Betting Odds, Game Notes & Prediction

The Philadelphia 76ers look to close out their final matchup of the current three-game road trip on Monday night.

After beginning last week’s slate on a high note by defeating the Atlanta Hawks at home, the Sixers paid a visit to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night.

Although the Cleveland matchup started off close, the Sixers struggled in the second quarter, which set them up for a blowout loss later on down the line.

After collecting their toughest loss of the year, the Sixers paid a visit to the Memphis Grizzlies. While they looked much better compared to their Wednesday night performance, the Sixers still struggled to overcome their opponent on the road, which led to a second-straight loss.

Now, the Sixers will look to climb out of their two-game skid with a matchup on the road against the Houston Rockets on Monday. In what’s expected to be James Harden’s first game back after missing the last 14 games due to a tendon strain, the Sixers hope to see a playmaking boost on the offensive end with Harden healthy and potentially back in the fold.
