Houston Rockets

At a certain point in the season, the Rockets lost momentum, but recently they have regained their form. So for the match with Philadelphia, the Texans are coming into the game having won five six in a row. First, during this stretch, Houston beat New Orleans twice (109:97 away and 146:117 at home), and then took four home games in a row - Orlando (97:84), Phoenix (111:104), Dallas (133:96), Chicago (117:114)

Thus, Houston again rose in the standings of the Western Conference. Now the Rockets share the second line with Memphis and Denver. All three teams currently have an identical balance of wins - 43-25.

Philadelphia 76ers

The 76ers played their previous game the day before yesterday. The away game of Nick Nurse's team against Dallas was very effective and ended with an important from a tournament point of view victory of the 76ers - 130:125. Earlier, Philadelphia lost three games in a row - away to Atlanta (123:132) and Toronto (105:118), at home to Indiana (100:112).

In the Eastern Conference standings, Philadelphia now sits in 12th place with a 23-44 balance and 4.0 wins behind the top-10. Obviously, it will be extremely difficult for the Seventy Sixers to get into the play-in at the end of the regular season.
