The past three meetings have gone into overtime with Philadelphia winning the latest one 128-122 on Jan. 22. Houston will look to avenge that loss and, at the same time, extend its winning streak to eight games following the Rockets' 119-105 win over Phoenix on Tuesday. Kevin Durant led seven double-figure scorers with 24 points, and the Suns were held to 43 percent shooting, 7-for-31 from the 3-point line. The 76ers have lost two in a row by an average of 17.5 points against Detroit and San Antonio. They are 3-8 straight up in their past 11 April games dating to last season. Houston has won its past five home games and six of seven overall against the Eastern Conference. The Rockets are 5-1 UNDER their past six versus the Atlantic Division. Philadelphia has stayed UNDER three straight and five of six. Houston is #4 in the NBA, allowing only 109.4 points per game. Take the Rockets on the moneyline, and bet this game to stay UNDER.
