HOUSTON — The Houston Rockets (6-17) will return to the Toyota Center Monday night for an interconference match against the Philadelphia 76ers (12-11). This will be the Rockets' first match of the season against the 76ers, who have won five straight games over Houston.

For another chance to play against his former team, James Harden could return to the 76ers' lineup after missing 14 consecutive games due to a foot injury.
