Our Houston Rockets vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction

Fearless Forecast: The Rockets keep rolling to beat the Sixers 115-112

You’ve got to ride the red-hot Rockets. This team is playing elite basketball on both ends at the right time, racking up seven wins in a row. The Rockets are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games at home and 6-1 SU in their last 7 games against an opponent in the Eastern Conference.

The Sixers are 9-3 in their last 12 meetings with the Rockets, but you can’t trust them now after those two heavy losses to the Pistons and Spurs. Houston’s defense is nearly as good as those two elite squads, making them a difficult opponent for Philadelphia, which has not fared well against top-tier teams this season.

The Rockets would have been a more rewarding option at -115 to cover -3.5 points, but the Sixers have been really good against the spread whenever they play Houston. Philadelphia is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 road games against Houston.
