The Houston Rockets are in Philadelphia this evening for a nationally televised game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Houston comes in with a record of 26-19 on the season, as they sit 5.5 games behind the Western Conference-leading Golden State Warriors. The Sixers take the floor hoping to improve upon their record of 30-17. A win tonight would place the Sixers just half a game back of the third place Indiana Pacers.
The Rockets are not the regular season juggernaut they were in 2017-2018, but they have had a resurgence in their play and in the standings.
