The Rockets are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 1 days rest and 6-20 ATS in their last 26 games overall. The Suns are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The over is 25-10-1 in Rockets last 36 overall. The over is 4-0 in Suns last 4 overall. The Rockets are 4-9 ATS in the last 13 meetings.
The Phoenix Suns are on the end of a back to back, and this could easily be a letdown spot with an opponent that doesn't strike much motivation. However, the Houston Rockets are absolutely dreadful, which includes losing their last five games by an average of 20.8 points and losing on the road by an average of 10.6 points. Te Rockets are also 22-33-1 against the spread on the season despite being big underdogs nightly. The line is massive and there's a chance for a backdoor cover, but I have no choice but to side with the Suns.
