The Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> will look to bounce back in the win column on Thursday when they play host to the Houston Rockets<\/a> to continue their 6-game homestand. The Sixers have started 1-3 during this stretch of games following Tuesday’s loss to the Phoenix Suns<\/a> and will look to move on from that performance.<\/p>\n

As far as the injury report is concerned, Joel Embiid (right ankle injury management) is listed as probable. He missed Tuesday’s loss to the Suns, but it was the second night of a back-to-back and he did play well in Monday’s win over the Indiana Pacers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Paul George (left knee injury management) is listed as questionable. The 9-time All-Star has missed the previous two games with the injury and one has to wonder if he will be able to return against the Rockets.<\/p>\n

The Sixers and the Rockets will tip off at 7 p.m. EST on Thursday with Philadelphia looking to pick up an important win on its homestand.<\/p>\n
