Granted, we'll see how the Rockets respond after a rousing OT win at Minnesota last night, but to this point they've been light years ahead of the Sixers. Philly is not just losing, looks to be coming apart internally, as Joel Embiid's recurring absences and immaturity level are now impacting the organization that also is getting much from Paul George, who has also missed considerable action. Both, along with vet G Kyle Lowry, are supposed to once again miss tonight, suggesting improving on an 3-13 record (which would be the NBA's worst except for the Wizards at 2-14) won't happen soon enough. Meanwhile Houston cruises at 13-6 and gives chase to OKC in the Southwest Division, and has a winning record on the road (5-3) this season. Play Rockets
