Currently losers of three straight games, the Philadelphia 76ers must be glad to return to the familiar confines of The Center after a difficult West Coast trip. They have a terrific opportunity to right the ship tonight, facing a Houston Rockets club that has lost six straight and will likely be missing several key players. Already without rising star and ex-Process Sixer Christian Wood due to a severe ankle injury, both Victor Oladipo and Eric Gordon are listed as doubtful for tonight, while everyone’s favorite trade deadline target P.J. Tucker is listed as questionable.
Meanwhile, after being a lead scratch Monday in Utah, Joel Embiid has been upgraded to questionable for tonight’s game.
