This game could be a preview of the NBA Finals you never know as we have two of the best teams in the NBA facing off on Friday night Sixers come in 23-13 and the Rockets stack up at 23-11 so very similar records. Rockets have covered 6 of their last 10 games and the Sixers just 3-5 ATS in their previous 8 games.
Sixers are one of the best home teams in the league but one of the worst on the road this season just 7-11 away from Philadelphia. Sixers come in off 3 straight losses and all on the road to pretty good teams Miami,Orlando and Indiana. Sixers on a get out of town game should be looking to get back to Philadelphia where they will host the Thunder and the hated Boston Celtics.

Sixers have a bevy of all star talent and are lead by the Swiss Army knife of NBA players Ben Simmons who averages just 14.5 points a game but also 7.1 rebounds 8.5 assists and 2.2 steals per game really close to a todays version of Magic Johnson that the NBA has. Sixers also have Tobias Harris who scores 18 points a game and their all pro Joel Embiid 26.3 points per game 12.4 rebounds in my opinion the best center in the NBA.
Houston Rockets off some real cupcake games since taking out the Clippers on the road just a few weeks back they have only been home a short stint coming into this game but are 12-4 SU at home and the last time these two teams met up was March of last year a Rockets win 107-91. Rockets are lead by the best overall player and scorer in the NBA in James Harden who is averaging and incredible 38.2 points per game and has also 5.8 rebounds and 7.5 assists.
Free Betting Pick: Sixers ML
Both teams really need this game but for the Sixers it is mandatory they get out of this funk and prove to the rest of the NBA that they can and will win big games on the road. This game is also a national T.V. ESPN game and we are getting a nice number on the spread thanks to recent struggles by the Sixers. Love the Sixers as they pull an upset 117-110.
