Houston Rockets vs Phoenix Suns NBA Preview

The Phoenix Suns enter this matchup with a disappointing 35-39 record. Despite boasting a talented roster, the team has underperformed compared to preseason expectations. Many people believed the Suns would be among the Western Conference’s top contenders, but inconsistency has plagued their season.

Now, with only a handful of games remaining, Phoenix finds itself one game behind the final play-in spot, making each contest a must-win situation. The Suns have struggled recently, losing back-to-back games and going 5-5 over their last 10 matchups. However, the team's star power remains undeniable.

Kevin Durant leads the way with 26.8 points per game, while Devin Booker continues to shine with 25.3 points and 7.1 assists. Bradley Beal has also contributed, averaging 17.1 points and 3.6 assists. The Suns' offense has been solid, posting 114.4 points per game, but defensive struggles have been a key factor in their inconsistent results.

On the other side, the Houston Rockets have been one of the biggest surprises of the NBA season. With a 48-26 record, head coach Ime Udoka has turned the franchise into a legitimate contender. After missing the playoffs since 2020, the Rockets have already secured a postseason spot and are now fighting for a better seeding.

Entering this game as the second seed in the West, Houston holds a slim 1.5-game lead over the Denver Nuggets and will look to maintain its advantage. Houston has been dominant lately, winning nine of its last ten games.

Jalen Green leads the team with 21.5 points per game, while Alperen Şengün has had a breakout year, averaging 19.2 points and 10.5 rebounds. Veteran guard Fred VanVleet has provided leadership, contributing 14.4 points and a team-high 5.5 assists per game. The Rockets will aim to continue their hot streak against a desperate Suns team fighting to keep its playoff hopes alive.

Best Bet: Suns ML (+110)
