Rockets vs. 76ers Pre-Game 5/5/21

Severely Undermanned Rockets Host Sixers in Tough Matchup

Morey’s New Gang.    Rough Stretch Begins.    A Big Problem Awaits.

Houston visits an old friend as the Rockets take on their foamier GM, Daryl Morey’s 76ers in Philly on Tuesday night. 
It’s the first of seven probable blowouts for the Rockets, especially considering the team has the minimum-required 8 players eligible to play.

Expect the Sixers’ Joel Embiid to give Houston nightmares, and don’t expect this one to be pretty Rockets fans.
