HOU vs PHI Dream11 Match Prediction

 

HOU vs PHI Dream11: Philadelphia 76ers will be looking to end their three-game skid when they play Houston Rockets on the road this weekend at Toyota Center, on Saturday morning (IST). Rockets’ volatile form gives the Sixers a cause for optimism but achieving a positive result will be easier if Joel Embiid shakes off the knock and is fit to play. If the doesn’t. it will become a tad harder for Ben Simmons and Co. to outscore James Harden and Russell Westbrook’s team.
As things stand, the Sixers are 5th on the Eastern Conference points table with a 23-13 record on the season. They are 7-11 on the road, and 4-6 in the last 10 matches. Houston Rockets, meanwhile, are 4th in the West with a 23-11 record.

Grand League tips:

  • Houston’s James Harden, Russell Westbrook and Sixers‘ Joel Embiid (if fit) all can pop up with game-high numbers. We back Harden as our go-to-man in Small Leagues, while the other two should be considered in at least two Grand League teams.
  • Players like Austin Rivers, Ben McLemore, James Ennis and Kyle O’Quinn can be the best value for points in this match.
