The Philadelphia 76ers are set to face the Houston Rockets in an interconference game on Thursday night. Here are three key points to consider before the matchup:
1. Sixers are striving to avoid the play-in tournament as they currently hold the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference. With only three games left in the regular season, they need to secure a playoff spot by finishing strong.
2. The Rockets have been on a seven-game winning streak, showcasing impressive offensive performance. They have a chance to surpass the Los Angeles Lakers for the fourth seed in the West.
3. Reed Sheppard has been a valuable addition to the Rockets lineup, contributing significantly to their recent success. Despite not standing out in the stat sheet, his impact on the team has been substantial.
