Houston Rockets vs Philadelphia 76ers prediction
Weird early start time so we could see some sluggish play early. Still, the Houston Rockets haven’t been good these last couple of weeks, and they’re not a team I’m looking to back, especially on the road. The Philadelphia 76ers have been one of the best home teams in the league with their 14-6 SU record, and they’re 24-13 ATS on the season. The Rockets are losing games, and they’ve covered just 3 of their last 10 games. I have no choice but to lay the number with the 76ers at home.
