NBA Odds: Rockets-76ers prediction, pick, how to watch (ClutchPoints)

The Houston Rockets (13-43) visit the Philadelphia 76ers (36-19) on Monday night! Action tips off at 7:10 p.m. ET. Below we continue our NBA odds series ...

While the team was lights out from deep in their previous matchup with Houston, that was largely thanks to the dominant interior play of Joel Embiid. As one of the streakiest players in the league, Green certainly has the talent to keep Houston in this game… The 76ers shoot the fourth-highest percentage from three while ranking in the top 10 in made threes. That was just par for the course for the big man who finds himself in the midst of another incredible season. That success down low often translates to the offensive end for Houston, as the Rockets rank in the top ten in interior scoring. The Rockets lead the league in rebound rate, compared to the 76ers who rank 25th. With Houston not having much to play for, look for Jalen Green to continue to serve as the No. That kind of inconsistency has been the story of the season for the second-year guard. That being said, the Rockets outlasted the 76ers in double-overtime the last time these teams met as they comfortably covered as eight-point underdogs. Despite the Rockets’ win, Sengun finished with just eight points and eight rebounds before fouling out. The Rockets covered 43% of their games while 50% went over the projected point total. The 76ers covered 57% of their games while 58% went over.

Some may be a bit surprised the Sixers jumped at the opportunity to sign Dedmon when names like Nerlens Noel and Serge Ibaka were potential other options.

The Spurs waived the 33-year-old so he could explore signing with a contender for the season's stretch run.

Chinatown resists proposed 76ers arena - The Triangle (Drexel University The Triangle Online)

The Philadelphia 76ers are in the works of opening a $1.3 billion dollar arena in Philadelphia's historic Chinatown.

As NBA officials and Chinatown residents debate the future of these seven blocks, all of Philadelphia holds its breath. In addition to owning a stake in the 76ers, Adelman serves as the vice chair of the University City District, a community revitalization partnership accused of gentrifying historically black neighborhoods. Adelman also serves as the CEO of Campus Apartments, a major provider for University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University housing. According to a copy of the petition obtained by WHYY News, residents fear that 76 Place will “destroy” Chinatown by diverting customers from the neighborhood’s businesses. In addition to pushing petitions, this coalition of college students has held teach-ins with Philadelphia grade schools and hosted protests at the University of Pennsylvania. The proposed arena “76 Place” would sit a mere ten feet from Chinatown—a distance that has not gone unnoticed by the historic neighborhood’s residents.
