76ers Vs Rockets

The Houston Rockets have a fantastic young team, and it seems everything is starting to click in the process. Houston stands third in the Western Conference with 13-6 and last week won from the Wolves in NBA Cup in the overtime stage.

Alperen Sengun is a big reason for the Rockets’ success and continues to show why he’s one of the rising stars in the Association. The center from Turkey born is currently averaging 18.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 5.0 assists, and had a triple double against Minnesota.

Sengun had the following stat line, 22 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds. He also committed three steals, and three blocks. Sengun is also pouring points for his team as of late, performing Over in point-line in 3 of the last 4 games.

Also, Sengun had it going against the Philadelphia 76ers in 2023-24, scoring 47 total points in the two games. Philly are without Joel Embiid, so Sengun can be a zeal in the paint because the Sixers’ frontline is not very strong. And all the indications are that the young lady will do a tremendous job tonight she is just 22 years of age.

Recent matchups point out that Philadelphia should pull through on this one. The Sixers are on a three-game winning streak against the Rockets but are otherwise a terrible team at 3-13, occupying the second worst spot in Eastern Conference.

Either way, Embiid and Paul George have barely played, which doesn’t exactly help. Well, it has pretty much been on the shoulders of Tyrese Maxey and their rookie, Jared McCain, almost entirely.

The Rockets, however, are 8-2 over the last ten games and have a lot of confidence. A road victory should be within grasp for a thirsty Houston team.

Maxey is having a fairly good outing as the main option of the Philly averaging 24.4 points, 3.8 assists and 32 rebounds. However, he averages only 29.4% of threes and has not really produce offensively in the last four games.

The clubs' most recent meeting was played on January 15, which was nearly a year ago. Philadelphia, who were playing really well, won 124-115. Houston has only been able to defeat the 76ers once in their last five meetings.

Saying anything positive about Philadelphia is quite difficult. Since the beginning of the season, they have had a run of terrible performances. The 76ers' 18% win percentage is a complete failure in light of the summer acquisitions. The team is not playing well. Furthermore, the absence of George, Lowry, and Embiid will overshadow their playing condition.

Their offense might take a serious hit from this. Despite the presence of the aforementioned players, their average score of 104.1 points places them second in the league. According to our editorial staff, the club lacks sufficient team play (21.5 assists, 29th) and nearly has the worst shooting percentage (42.8%, 29th). Fast breakouts to the basket are the only way to count on a strong attack in such a scenario. Maxey's return is well-timed.

Although the Rockets have not yet begun to win on a regular basis, their current record is unmatched by their rivals. 68.4% of victories were attained, which is a very remarkable outcome. Houston ranks third in the NBA defensive rating with an average of 105.4 points allowed.

Although the visitors' offense is not the best (113.9, 14th), they do have these numbers at a fairly slow pace; Smith and VanVleet have a lot of potential. Houston might have an edge under the hoop with Sengun in their lineup, particularly with Embiid's injury. There is a lot of hope based on the rebound figures (49.9, first). With 13 turnovers per game and sixth place in the league, the club should handle the ball well. We anticipate a respectable offensive because of efficient possession that results in shots. In particular, it won't make perfect sense to put in a lot of defensive effort after a back-to-back. The tourists can perform as well as they typically do.
