Rockets vs 76ers Prediction

I’m not running to the window to lay double-digit chalk with the Rockets, a young team that’s still learning how to deal with expectations. However, backing the 76ers isn’t an option, especially at the end of a back-to-back. The 76ers are 25-42 ATS on the season, and playing a second game in a row with their injury report is hell. The 76ers are severely undermanned, and spots like this are where teams like that feel it most.

The Rockets are 7-3 SU and ATS in their last 10 games, and they’re currently in the second seed in the West. The Rockets can’t afford to play around in spots like this if they’re going to snag a top seed and make a legit playoff run. I’ll lay the points with the Rockets.
