Houston Rockets vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction and Betting Tips | Nov. 27, 2024 

The day before Thanksgiving is a packed schedule for the NBA with 14 games, including the Houston Rockets versus Philadelphia 76ers matchup. The Rockets have won eight of their last 10 games, while the Sixers have done the opposite with just two victories in their last 10 contests.

Houston is coming off a tight overtime win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2024 Emirates NBA Cup on Tuesday. They improved to 13-6 for the season, which is the third-best record in the Western Conference.

The Sixers, on the other hand, have the second-worst record in the NBA at 3-13. They are struggling for consistency, as well as their overall health. Paul George is currently out with a knee injury, while Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey have played in a combined 14 games this season.

Houston Rockets vs Philadelphia 76ers Betting Tips

Alperen Sengun is coming off a triple-double performance against the Timberwolves. Sengun has an over/under of 19.5 points, which is lower than his season average of 18.3 points per game. He's favored to go over, which is a not bad bet to take considering he's scored at least 20 points three times in his last four games.

Jalen Green has struggled with his shot since starting off hot in the first two weeks of the season. Green is favored to go over 16.5 points despite going under in three of his last four games. Take the risk and place your money on him to score less than 17 points for a bigger payout.

Tyrese Maxey has an over/under of 21.5 points, which is lower than his season average of 24.4 ppg. Maxey is projected to score at least 22 points, something that he has only done once since returning from injury. It might be better to go against the odds and bet on him to go under against the Rockets.

Jared McCain is one of the few positives for the Philadelphia 76ers this season. The rookie is favored to go under 20.5 points, which is not a bad bet to take. He has only reached 21 or more points once in his last four games. However, he's been fantastic for Philly, so it's understandable if you take the over.
