Rockets Take On Slumping Sixers
The Houston Rockets play host to the Philadelphia 76ers at Toyota Center on Monday.

The Rockets (6-17) have dropped three of their last four games and hope to bounce back as they return home or a chance to improve on their 3-5 home record. Jalen Green leads the team, averaging 21.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. Kevin Porter averages 18.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.3 steals, while Alperen Sengun averages 15.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 blocks per game. The Rockets average 110.0 points per game, but they give up an average of 116.9 points, which is fourth most in the league.

Meanwhile, the 76ers (12-11) look to snap a two-game slide, as they face the third and final game of a road trip, with a chance to add to their 5-6 road record. Joel Embiid has looked great, averaging 28.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.7 blocks over three games since returning from a four-game absence. Tobias Harris averages 16.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.2 steals, while P.J. Tucker averages 3.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists, making most of his impact on the defensive end. James Harden (foot) missed the last month of action but is hoping to be ready for Monday's game. Tyrese Maxey (foot) has missed the last eight games and remains sidelined. The Sixers average 108.3 points per game, and they hold opponents to an average of 106.6 points per game, which is second fewest in the league.
