Phoenix Suns vs Houston Rockets prediction

On paper the Phoenix Suns should win this game, but we've been saying that about them all year and here they are with a 13-15 record and losses in 7 of their last 10 games. The Suns are a complete mess, and there's been rumblings that Durant isn't exactly thrilled with the way things are playing out. Possible trade rumors are next? I'm not getting the warm and fuzzy feeling from the Suns, and I'm not thrilled to back them in the favorite role. The Houston Rockets played last night, but they're still tough defensively, and they're one of the best covering teams in the league. Give me the free bucket with the Rockets in a game they could easily win outright because the Suns are a joke.
