Rockets to Win
The Houston Rockets have won their last four home games and five of their ten fixtures played in the NBA. The Phoenix Suns meanwhile also have won 50% of their ten latest games but lost their last three road games.
Over 220.5 Points
This is a fixture that usually is a high-scoring game. To illustrate, the last four h2h meetings and seven of the last ten games between these two teams produced over 220.5 points. According to the statistics of the last ten games of both teams, there is an 85% possibility that this bet will win.
Rockets +10.5 Points Handicap
In their last ten games in the NBA, the Houston Rockets won five. During the remaining five losses the Rockets lost by fewer than 10.5 points in four of them. Thus, the Houston Rockets covered the suggested handicap in 90% of their ten outings prior to this game.
Houston Rockets
It was one of the best nights at the Toyota Center Sunday night as the Houston Rockets bounced back from their loss to the Spurs and beat reigning champions the Bucks by 97-92. The Rockets’ defense took the main attention of the night limiting Giannis Antetokoumnpo to 16 points.
Moreover, the Rockets defended very aggressively which led them to have 11 steals during the game, six more than their season’s average of 4.8 per game. Now, coach Silas will hope his team can record its second consecutive win for the first time in seven games after winning and losing every other game in their last five.
Phoenix Suns
Phoenix is currently on a four-game road trip and this is their third game in Houston. In the first two games, they lost twice to the New Orleans Pelicans which extended their losing streak to four. The Suns now have a 16-11 win/loss record and are fourth in the West while they are 4-8 on the road.
The Suns have been led by Devin Booker this season who is averaging 27.4 points this season. Booker has a hamstring injury and missed the game against the Pelicans on Sunday. As a team, the Suns are averaging 116.1 ppg which ranks sixth while they are second in offensive rating.
Houston will be boosted with confidence following their big win over the Bucks. Phoenix are not playing well lately and as road favorites, they are 3-5 in covering the spread. Meanwhile, Houston at home have a record of 6-3-1 in covering the spread. We will back the Rockets to win.
The digit two was present in five of the previous six games between the Rockets and the Suns. With odds of 1.96 at 1Xbet, we predict the number two digit to be in the final score.
