Premium Pick

Houston will be without injured Russell Westbrook for this one, but the 76ers are in a lot worse shape as they'll be missing Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid. Also, Glenn Robinson III is questionable and will have limited minutes.  Philadelphia has lost three in a row, including 125-121 to Toronto on Wednesday, and they lost the only meeting of the season 118-108 against the Rockets in January. Philly is 4-9 ATS its last 13 as an underdog and 6-15-1 ATS its last 22 games against teams with winning records. Also, the 76ers have not covered five of their last six following an ATS win, and they are 1-5 ATS with one day of rest. Play the Rockets.
