The NBA is playing its last games before the All Star Game break, and this Monday, February 13, we will have a Rockets vs 76ers clash where the home team is widely favored to win.
The Rockets have suffered five losses in a row, and they are in last place in the Western Conference, which makes them one of the favorites to keep highly-rated prospect Victor Wembanyama. The 76ers have won seven of their last 10 meetings (not taking into account this Saturday’s win over the Brooklyn Nets), and they remain as one of the favorites in the East.
Without further ado, here is everything you need to know about the Houston Rockets vs Philadelphia 76ers game in the best JefeBet style.

Betting on the Houston Rockets
- Regular Season Record: 13-43
As it was expected, the Rockets traded veteran point guard Eric Gordon, who will now play for the Clippers. In that transaction, John Wall returned to Houston, but it is also expected that the veteran point guard will be released to sign with a contending team.
The team’s priority in the second half of the season will be to continue to give minutes and experience to promising players such as Alperen Sengun, Tari Eason, Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr, who are the cornerstones of this project, which they hope Wembanyama will also join.
Betting on the Philadelphia 76ers
- Regular Season Record: 35-19
The 76ers acquired forward Jalen McDaniels in a three-team trade with the Hornets and the Trail Blazers, a move in which they said goodbye to Matisse Thybulle.
Thybulle was a well-liked player on the team. He was also highly respected for his great defensive ability, but the Australian will be a free agent at the end of the season. This player could not develop a reliable offensive game, so the 76ers’ top brass preferred to trade him and add McDaniels, who has a better repertoire on offense and who is expected to serve as a backup for Tobias Harris and P.J. Tucker.
JefeBet Prediction
The Rockets surprisingly defeated the 76ers in double overtime in the previous meeting between the two in the current season. Jalen Green with 27 points was the star of his team.
After that loss to Houston, the 76ers won 20 of their next 24 games played and moved into the top half of the Eastern Conference. Joel Embiid and the rest of the squad will surely step onto the court ready to crush the Rockets this Monday, and at JefeBet we anticipate a big win for Doc Rivers’ team.
Prediction: Philadelphia 76ers Spread.
