After suffering a tough loss to the LA Clippers on Monday, the Philadelphia 76ers return to action at home on Wednesday night. Next up is a meeting with Jalen Green and the Houston Rockets.

The Rockets go into this duel as one of the top teams in the Western Conference. They are currently in third place and have a record of 8-2 in their last ten games. Their clash with the Sixers is the second leg of a back-to-back game as they faced the Minnesota Timberwolves in an overtime duel.

Similar to most of this season, the Sixers are without the services of a handful of players. Joel Embiid, Paul George and Kyle Lowry all remain out as they recover from injuries.

With the Sixers dealing with numerous injuries, Nick Nurse will field another new starting lineup against the Rockets. They will open with Tyrese Maxey, Jared McCain, Kelly Oubre Jr., Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele.

One player the Sixers need to keep an eye on ahead of this matchup is center Alperen Sengun. He’s been on a hot streak lately, scoring at least 20 points in three of his last five games. Sengun also recently recorded a triple-double (22 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists) against the Timberwolves last night.

The Sixers are led by Tyrese Maxey and Jared McCain. The two guards got the team back on the winning streak last week against the Brooklyn Nets and will now look to help Philly avoid a 3-14 start.
