Phoenix Suns vs Houston Rockets Prediction

The Phoenix Suns have lost five of their last six games, are still without Beal, and they’re on the end of a back-to-back. The Rockets should be favored. However, the Rockets have cooled off drastically these last couple of weeks and have losses in six of their last seven games. The Rockets have scored 105 or fewer points in four of their last six games. The underdog has covered five of the last six games between the Rockets and Suns. This line is showing the Rockets a little too much respect given their current form. I’ll take a shot with the Suns and the points, even if they’re the worst cover team in the NBA.
