The 76ers will travel to H-Town for an inter-conference matchup with the Rockets Friday night. Philly has dropped three straight games since Christmas Day after defeating Giannis Antetokounmpo's Bucks over the holiday.

How to watch 76ers vs. Rockets

The game will tip off at 8:00 p.m. EST, and be televised on ESPN, ATSW and NSPA. It will also be available for streaming via the NBA's subreddit community.

Joel Embiid started to look like a man on a mission after being called out by Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley on TNT earlier this month. However, the team has cooled off since then, and now Embiid's the one dishing out verbal shots -- this time directed at his own teammates. Avoiding a four-game losing streak is a must for this Sixers team.

The 76ers hope to turn things around at the Toyota Center, but to do so they'll have to figure out a way to mitigate the threat of James Harden.

Harden's been on a tear as of late, but he seems to take it up a notch when he plays the Sixers. He's averaged more than 35 points over Houston's last 10 games vs. the 76ers, including two eruptions for more than 50.

The Rockets are 7-3 over its last 10 games, including key Western Conference victories over the Clippers and Nuggets that have vaulted them to fourth place, and they're looking to continue their upward trend with an important win against Philadelphia.
