Rockets vs Suns Prediction
The Suns have yet to prove they can string wins together or cover the spread. The Suns have covered just one of their first seven games. It’s been the complete opposite for the Rockets, who have covered seven of their nine games and proven they can win on the road. Expect no different here, considering the Rockets are 9-1 SU in the last 10 games against the Suns and 8-2 ATS in those games. The Suns have not beaten the Rockets since February 2024.
We also know this is a revenge spot for Durant, as there were comments made this offseason about him leaving Phoenix and how the franchise feels it’s in a better position. Don’t be surprised if Durant has one of those games. Either way, the Rockets are in a better position and have been kinder to our wallet. Give me the Rockets and the chalk on Saturday night.
