HOU vs PHI Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:

Houston Rockets will be seeking their seventh straight win when they host a highly talented Philadelphia 76ers in a regular season NBA match at Toyota Center, in downtown Houston, Texas, on Saturday morning (IST).

February 24th, Houston Rockets faced the mighty Golden State Warriors and they didn’t have James Harden in their ranks. While Dubs were at full strength. The matchup had defeat written all over it.

But it’s indelibility was checked by the shorthanded and motivated Rockets. as they upstaged the Warriors 112-118 at Oracle Arena. Eric Gordon led a trinity of players scoring in the 20s for last season’s beaten conference finalists.

Rockets haven’t looked back since then and are on a six-game winning streak. The run looks even more impressive considering they faced Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors on the road in the last two games.

Now they look every ounce of a team which can better the last season’s achievement. There are reasons for that. James Harden has been outstanding, to say the least, breaking and setting up records. While the likes of Chris Paul, Clint Capela, and Eric Gordon are playing the role of perfect supporting cast.

As things stand, Rockets are 3rd in the Western Conference with a 39-25 record. If nothing extraordinary happens, this is the highest they can fly this season in the regular season.

Philadelphia 76ers suffered a shocking result against one of the least fancied teams in NBA, Chicago Bulls. Joel Embiid wasn’t in the matchday squad. He hasn’t played since the All-Star break for precautionary reasons, still, Sixers were by far the superior team on paper. They lost 108-107 at United Center.
