Philadelphia at Houston

The biggest point spread of the season will follow the Philadelphia 76ers into Houston as they take on the Rockets. There were five such games last year, of which the Sixers were part of three times, and they covered two of the three. I think Philadelphia is a bit better, and the question always comes into play, is just how focused will Houston be in what appears to be an automatic win? That may be especially true as the Rockets may have already left the building with their next two on the road at Oklahoma City, and a showdown with upstart Memphis to follow. The Sixers have been 7-2 ATS in their last nine when facing an opponent that allowed more than 100 points in their previous game. The Sixers have also been a thorn in the Rockets' side, posting a 10-4 ATS mark in the last 14 meetings. Take the generous points on Philadelphia.
