Red-Hot Rockets Look to Bury Struggling 76ers in Philadelphia

Game Preview

The Houston Rockets (12-6) roll into Philadelphia riding a wave of momentum, having won 7 of their last 10 games and 3 of their last 5. Their high-powered offense has been humming, averaging a blistering 113.8 points over the last 10 games while shooting just under 44% from the field. The Rockets have been lethal from beyond the arc as well, hovering around 31% on three-pointers during this stretch.

While the offense has been firing on all cylinders, Houston's calling card remains their stifling defense. Over their last 10 games, they've held opponents to 103.7 points per contest while grabbing a shade over 52 rebounds and swatting nearly 6 blocks per game. The Rockets' ability to force turnovers, with 10.3 steals during this run, has fueled their transition game and kept opponents on their heels.

In stark contrast, the Philadelphia 76ers (3-13) have struggled mightily this season. They've dropped 8 of their last 10 games while averaging just 101.4 points on a paltry 43.5% shooting. The 76ers have been especially inept from three-point range, hitting a mere 30.5% of their attempts over this stretch. Their issues have extended to the defensive end, where they've surrendered 110 points per game over their last 10 contests.

The 76ers' woes have been compounded by sloppy play, as they've coughed up the ball 13.4 times per game while struggling to generate extra possessions, grabbing just 39 rebounds and 9.5 steals. With the Rockets rolling and the 76ers reeling, all signs point to Houston extending their hot streak in Philadelphia.
