The Philadelphia 76ers’ road trip continues on Friday as they take on the Houston Rockets.
The Sixers will be shorthanded once again with Joel Embiid still out due to an ankle sprain as well as Nico Batum remaining out with a hamstring strain. It will likely remain Paul Reed who steps into the void left by Embiid. Reed had a great game in that role on Wednesday’s win over the Orlando Magic, putting up 15 points with 10 rebounds, three blocks and a steal. If he can keep his fouls down, he can probably do even better.
