The 76ers are 8-18-1 ATS in their last 27 road games and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall. The Rockets are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 Monday games. The under is 20-7 in 76ers last 27 Monday games. The over is 9-4 in Rockets last 13 home games. The 76ers are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

I don't trust the Philadelphia 76ers enough to lay big chalk with them often, but I have no choice here. The Houston Rockets are a bad team that's in full on tank mode, and that includes losing by an average of 7 points on the season and 8.2 points in their last 5 games. The Rockets also lose in the underdog role by an average of 7 points. Because I can't get behind the Rockets, I'll lay the chalk with the 76ers.
