Houston Rockets

The Houston Rockets are hoping to win their seventh straight game as they take on the Philadelphia 76ers in their annual trip to the Toyota Center.

The Sixers are on the second night of a back-to-back after a matinee affair with the Dallas Mavericks yesterday.

Philadelphia is one of the most injured teams in the league, so Houston needs to take all of its advantages in tonight's game and run with it to keep up in the Western Conference playoff picture.
