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

On Monday night, the Philadelphia 76ers make their return to the court to host the Houston Rockets. Monday’s game marks the second meeting between the Sixers and the Rockets this season.

Last week, the Sixers started the week off on a tough note. Facing an undermanned Boston Celtics team, the Sixers failed to advantage and came away with a disappointing loss to the Eastern Conference’s top dogs.

Two nights later, the Sixers found a way to bounce back. With the New York Knicks in South Philly for the fourth and final meeting between the two Atlantic Division rivals, the Sixers got revenge and evened the regular season series by taking down the Knicks for the second time this year.

The following night, the Sixers were on the road to take on the Brooklyn Nets. Although the Nets had an entirely new look after making a series of key trades before the deadline, Brooklyn put up a good fight. In the end, the Sixers managed to get out in front and snag a second-straight victory.

To begin the new week, the Sixers will try and pick up their third win in a row with the Rockets in town.
