Philadelphia 76ers vs Houston Rockets Fantasy NBA: The Philadelphia 76ers will come into this game after losing to the Utah Jazz in their previous contest despite 42 points outing by Joel Embiid. Meanwhile, the Houston Rockets will hit the floor after losing a 12 point battle to the Washington Wizards despite John Wall racking up 29 points. More information about PHI vs HOU Dream11 fixture will be given here.
76ers season: The Sixers are the number one team in the NBA standings for the Eastern Conference, they have looked in great form and aim to reach the NBA Finals this season. Joel Embiid leads the Sixers and looks like an MVP candidate in the early trends. The Sixers derailed on their road trip and lost 3 games in a row against tough Western Conference teams.
Rockets Season: The Houston Rockets are looking to rebuild after the departure of James Harden but do not have the right young players to build around right now. They are unlikely to make the playoffs as the current record suggests but they have an experienced team with the likes of John Wall, Victor Oladipo, Eric Gordon, and DeMarcus Cousins in the starting lineup.
The two teams will play on the home turf of the Sixers which means that the 76ers have the advantage, the PG battle between John Wall and Ben Simmons will be a lucrative one to watch.

The Rockets were not expected to do much after the departure of James Harden and despite having John Wall as the playmaker, they don’t have the depth or talent right now to compete at the highest level of the League. On the other hand, the Sixers are looking a formidable foe and will like to win the Eastern Conference and shoot down the Harden, Durant, and Irving laced Brooklyn Nets.
DeMarcus Cousins will face a lot of trouble in guarding a player like Joel Embiid who can explode for many points and dominate the game. This game is a must-watch on the NBA live stream or NBA streams as it features talent like Joel Embiid.
