The Seven Sixers played two previous matches against teams from New York - the Knicks and the Brooklyn Nets. Before that, they had lost twice in a row – to the same Knicks (97:108), leading the game with a difference of 20 points, and to Boston (99:106), so they needed rehabilitation. It is Doc Rivers' team who succeeded. First, they took revenge with a confident rematch against New York (119:108). Then in the most complex struggle, they coped with Brooklyn (101:98). These meetings once again confirmed that when Philadelphia needs it, the team can show itself in the best way, both in offense and defense.

The Rockets suffered five defeats in a row, and if in the first three meetings in this segment, Stephen Silas's team was beaten in all respects, then in the next two, it wasn't very respectful to give the endings. First, in the match against Sacramento and Eric Gordon, Houston fouled De'Arone Fox, playing a three-point shot under the final siren, and lost 128:130. Then, with an even score, they allowed Jimmy Butler to score with 0.7 seconds left in the away game with Miami – 95:97. Offensive failures, however, have been pleasing Houston more and more lately with their game.

Houston defends itself the worst against a three-point shot this season, which explains the Rockets' four very productive matches against Sacramento. Philadelphia does not attack as much from as far as the Kings but also pays great attention to this component. The ninth line in scoring long-range attempts. So we can assume that on the perimeter of the Seven Sixers, they will tear up Houston. However, the Rockets defend well from a two-point shot, which will not allow Philadelphia to acquire too much.
