Houston Rockets vs Phoenix Suns Best Bet: Tuesday, December 13th

The Suns have lost 4 consecutive games, and are eager to take secure a win tonight against the weak Rockets. The Rockets have been playing up to their standards, sitting at the bottom of the Western Conference with only 8 wins so far, with most of their focus being centred around developing their young core.

Houston Rockets vs Phoenix Suns Preview

Wednesday, Dec 13th. 1:00 (UK time)

The Rockets as per usual are aiming for the future, and have little to no interest in the ongoing season. They have been successfully developing the young trio of Jalen Green, Alpren Sengun and KPJ. They are the 4th most successful rebounding team in the NBA with 44.5 rebounds per game. This parameter is not enough to cover all the flaws in their game, such as scoring 110.4 points per game (24th) and accumulated shooting of 44% (30th). The future looks bright for them, but at this point, we are leaning toward the Suns for tonight. The Rockets will be missing J. Tate with an ankle injury.

The Suns have lost 5 out of their last 6 games and are close to approaching the mid-table of the Western Conference. A sense of urgency must have arisen in the Suns after all these losses, and we believe tonight they will be very motivated and focused. The Suns are 3rd in the competition in assists per game with almost 27 a night. Much of this is because of the experienced C. Paul who is averaging 9 dishes per game. Although their health issues have been severe, they have managed to climb to the top of the Western Conference.

For tonight D. Booker will be questionable for undisclosed reasons. We believe Booker will play since the game is very important for the Suns. If this happens, we believe the moneyline will shift closer to -8.5 for the away team, as Booker has been the best player for the Suns with 28 PPG.
Cam Johnson is Out with an ankle injury.


Houston Rockets vs Phoenix Suns Best Bet

The Suns have won 9 out of their 10 last games against this rebuilding Rockets team. The gap in quality is very big tonight, and we are expecting a blowout victory for the visitors if they manage to properly execute coach Williams’ game plan.

  • Selection: Suns -4.5
  • Best Odds: 1.78 (BWin)
  • Stakes: 2/10

Odds as of 2:00 pm December 13th, 2022. Odds may now differ.
