T.M. Selection: 76ers/Rockets UNDER.

I am on the under in the Philadelphia 76ers vs Houston Rockets game on Monday. The 76ers have been rolling lately winning 6 games in a row. I think they are going to blow the Rockets out here and keep them from scoring a lot with some good defense. The 76ers have performed well on the road this year and they have a winning 14-8 record in those games. They have won 5 games in a row on the road and they haven't given up 110+ points to any of the opposing teams in those games. The 76ers have only scored 120+ points in 1 game of their previous 14 and that game was against the Rockets about a week ago but the 76ers were at home in that game. I don't think they are going to score as much on the road and I still expect the Rockets to put more resistance at home since they have had a majority of their wins happen on their home court this year. The Rockets have been terrible this year, they have won 1/11 games over the past few weeks and they have been giving up a lot of points lately. They have given up 130+ points in 3 of their previous 4 games and lost all of them. The only game they won during that time was a game where they didn't allow either team to get to 120 points. I expect the Rockets to play much better on defense here at home since they have been losing a lot and it is mainly due to their lack of defense. I think they will try to play a lot better and put up more resistance in this game to prevent the 76ers from repeating what they did a week ago. I also think the 76ers aren't going to put up a lot of points on the road and will try to play better on defense to get some turnovers and win this game like that. I don't expect a ton of scoring in this game, I like the under here.

T.M. Prediction: 114-94 76ers.
