Rockets vs. 76ers Game Info
Houston Rockets (11-16, 6-10 Away) vs. Philadelphia 76ers (18-10, 11-2 Home)
Date: Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2021
Time: 7:30 p.m. EST
Venue: Wells Fargo Center — Philadelphia, Penn.
Coverage: ESPN
Both of these teams are in a slump, but the one Houston finds themselves in is certainly more extreme. They are losers of six straight games, with four being by double digits. Christian Wood remains out for the Rockets tonight. Victor Oladipo and Eric Gordon are both considered doubtful with their own injuries. This places a greater weight on John Wall, who has played 30-plus minutes in four straight games and scored 25 points in three of the four.
The 76ers have lost three straight games, but the competition was greater than what Houston has played against. Philadelphia’s opponents were the Trail Blazers, Suns and Jazz. Joel Embiid missed last game with back tightness and is questionable to play tonight. The 76ers also return home after a four-game road trip, so this looks to be a get-right games for Philadelphia, especially considering how shorthanded the Rockets may be.
