Houston Rockets vs Phoenix Suns Prediction

The Suns are hard to trust because one night they play with effort, and the next night they don’t defend and go through the motions. You never know what team you’re getting. The Rockets have won nine of their last 10 games and are the same team pretty much both on the road and at home. With all of that said, the Suns have shown more signs of life lately and they’re in the thick of the play-in conversation. At home, the Suns need to take advantage of games like this if they’re going to sneak into the tournament. The underdog has covered six of the last eight games between the Rockets and Suns. I’ll take a shot with the Suns and the free bucket at home.
