00:00Let's get down to the business in the NBA tonight right here on the early line on the Sports Grid
00:04Network. Donnie Wrights out along with Joe Ranieri in the city of brotherly love, the
00:07Philadelphia 76ers taking on the Houston Rockets, the fifth straight home game for the Philadelphia
00:1176ers. Losers of three out of their first four at home. Maybe they rebound tonight, but they are
00:16the underdog. Opening lines overnight, minus two and a half or so for the Houston Rockets. That's
00:21down to twos and one and a halves, depending on where you're shopping at, Joe, and a total of
00:25two twenty one and a half. Full go Sixers at home against the Rockets? Could be. What are we
00:30thinking here? Yeah, no, it could very well be. Rockets actually came from behind in a big effort
00:37at home last game against San Antonio there. It has not been a great month for them. They've had
00:43these shooting woes, especially from three, but Reed Shepard appears to have found the stroke for them
00:49and really kind of ignited the comeback there against San Antonio, and they're hoping that
00:54continues here. But we mentioned it, Donnie, you know, the Sixers, it appears we get two different
00:59teams on some nights, right? Because Embiid is good to go again here tonight for this game. Paul
01:05George remains questionable, but it looks like he is trending towards playing. So this is, I would
01:11rather have Embiid in the lineup against the Rockets than anything else. The Rockets were a three-point
01:16favorite overnight. We've seen some Philadelphia money come in this morning, and I agree with it.
01:22You know, with Embiid on the court, it's a different team, and I think the matchup is pretty good here
01:28for the Sixers at home against this Rockets team, who I'm not sold has actually found their perimeter
01:34game yet.
