NBA Monday Betting Pick- Rockets at 76ers

76ers NBA Basketball

76ers Take on Struggling Rockets





Monday night’s NBA action on TNT gets underway at 8 p.m. with an inter-conference clash between the Houston Rockets and the Philadelphia 76ers. Philly is favored by 4.5 points at home and BetAnySports has set the total line at 234.5 points.





Houston has been struggling with consistency over its past eight games. They have a straight-up record of 4-4 while going 3-5 against the spread. Six of those games were played on its home court heading into this week’s brief two-game road trip. The Rockets are 9-12 SU on the road this season with an 8-13 record ATS. The total has gone OVER in five of its last seven games overall.





James Harden scored 48 points and Eric Gordon put up 30 more in Saturday’s 138-134 overtime victory against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Rockets failed to cover as seven-point home favorites. Harden is averaging 35.7 points per game and he also leads the team in assists (8.5). Houston is 10th in the league in scoring with 112.6 PPG and it slips to 15th when it comes to points allowed (110.5).





76ers Look to Rebound After Rare Home Loss





The 76ers are coming off a rare loss at home with Saturday’s 117-115 setback against Oklahoma City as 3.5-point favorites on BetAnySports’ closing line. They are 7-3 SU over their last 10 games while going an even 5-5 ATS. The total stayed UNDER 235 points against the Thunder and it has stayed UNDER in three of their last four games. Philadelphia is 19-5 SU at home this season with a 13-11 record ATS.





Joel Embiid put
up a team-high 31 points in Saturday’s loss along with eight rebounds and six
assists. Ben Simmons was one assist shy (9) of a triple-double to go with his
20 points and 15 rebounds. Embiid is the team’s leader in points (27.0) and
Simmons is averaging a team-high 8.2 assists a game. Philadelphia is scoring an
average of 115.4 PPG while allowing 112.2 points on defense.





Beating Philly on its home court is a tough task for any NBA team. My lean is towards the Sixers covering the 4.5 points on Monday night at home, but my ‘best bet’ is the OVER 234.5 on the total line.
