Philadelphia 76ers vs Houston Rockets Prediction
The Houston Rockets are on the end of a back-to-back, but who cares. The Rockets keep winning and covering numbers. The Rockets are 8-2 SU and ATS in their last 10 games. The Rockets are a young, talented team that’s coming together before our eyes, and I’m not eager to step in front of them. The Philadelphia 76ers are the complete opposite, and they’ll be without Embiid and George. I’ll keep riding with the red-hot Rockets.
