We couldn’t have asked for a better start to 2020 in NBA 2019-20 with a slew of vibrant and exhilarating inter-conference ties being served upto the mantle for us. And the intriguing games keep coming our way as East and West continue to meet paths with Houston Rockets and Philadelphia going at loggerheads today.
Currently in fifth spot in the Eastern Conference, for Philadelphia, the season has hit a rock at the wrong time. The side have gone onto lose three games in a row with their most recent defeat against Indiana Pacers seeing them lose massive ground in their aspirations of challenging for a spot in the pinnacles of the points tally.
And things are bound to get only trickier for them when they go to Houston today to play the fourth placed Western Conference side. They are up against a side who have lost only the 4 times in 16 encounters at home, a team whose bastion has been extremely difficult to breach by sides. And having pulled off an incredible heist as they stunned Houston Rockets 130-104.
Probable Winner
With the Rockets pulling off a sensational result, one which could end up being a defining moment for the side this term and with Philadelphia losing their belongings at the wrong time, there is one clear winner from this. This looks set to be a foregone conclusion, an outing where the Rockets should end up cruising their way to a win on the day.

Registering the 8.5 apg, Ben Simmons from Philadelphia 76ers will be our pick for the point guard ambit. The player has provide ample assistance to his side’s power forwards and centres, laying up the ball for them intricately to help bridge the gap between the side’s defence and attack.
We have the one player being brought in from the Rockets as well for this one with Austin Rivers making for a solid pick. At just 6.5 credits and assured time out on the court, the player is set to rope his way a flurry of points to make him a must have pick for the day.

With 38.3 ppg and the 7.5 apg to go with them, James Harden was always going to be an instant pick for us. The Houston Rockets’ shooting guard has been in electric touch this term, a player whose ability to traverse his way past defences and register points in the paint along with sending down open treys has seen him drop points at will.
HOU Vs PHI Dream11 Small Forward
James Ennis from Philadelphia 76ers is going to be our selection in this component of our Dream 11 side. The player has an ability to pull off quick break points as well as send down floating jump points, something which has seen him earn an elevated role in his side off late.
HOU Vs PHI Dream11 Power Forward
P.J. Tucker has positioned him articulately inside the opponent’s paint and right under their pole to ensure he’s been the first player to latch onto the rebounds and second chance points for his side. It’s seen him play out the role of power forward to perfection to see us indulge in his services for the day.
HOU Vs PHI Dream11 Centre
With 23.7 ppg and the 12.4 rpg to go with them, Joel Embiid from Philadelphia becomes the first player to be enshrined in our Dream 11 side of the day. The player has waged a long battle for his side off late with his dual nature as a player seeing him send down spins and slams along with registering deflections and rebounds as well.
He will find company in Kyle O’Quinn for the day while from Houston Rockets we are moving in with Tyson Chandler for this outing. The centre will only feature as a substitute but he’s been getting an increased role for his side recently given his ability to register revere scoops and points in the paint.
