Over 222.5(-110)PHI 76ers @ HOU Rockets

The Philadelphia 76ers were involved in a high scoring game last night, as they took down the Dallas Mavericks in a contest that saw the teams combining for 255 points. With the team now on the second night of a back-to-back set, they should have issues containing the Houston Rockets here. This will be the last game of the Rockets 6-game homestand, with the team having some high scoring performances during that stretch. That includes a 133-point outing against the Mavericks and 146 against the New Orleans Pelicans. Both teams are near the middle of the pack in terms of pace over the last 10 games, ranking 14th and 16th, respectively. It should help ensure there are enough possessions for them to put up points.

The 76ers have had issues with turnovers of late. Over the last 10 games they are 25th in opponent points off turnovers, which is something the Rockets should be able to exploit. With their opponents being fatigued, look for this to be one of the things the Rockets use to get out in transition and attack. Both teams have had issues with rim protection of late too. Over the last 10 games the Rockets are 23rd in opponent points in the paint while the 76ers are just 27th. If both are able to finish effectively inside the paint, the points should rack up tonight. The line being at 222.5 feels too low as a result.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Houston Rockets Prediction: Over 222.5 available at time of publishing. Playable to over 224.5.

Like most Lithuanians, I started watching basketball from the age of six. I'm based out in London and played basketball at the University of Lincoln here in the UK. I had always had an interest in the NBA but things really took off in the summer of 2010. That year Linas Kleiza led Lithuania to 3rd place at the World Championships and signed with the Toronto Raptors to replace the departing Chris Bosh. I've been a Raptors fan since that day and I've not missed a game since. I've been handicapping games for more than a decade, specializing in player props.
