Rockets vs. Suns Prediction and Pick

The Suns may not have been able to cover against the Clippers, but the Rockets are a completely different team. 

Houston gets blown out often, and if you look at the Rockets’ last eight losses, they have all come by double-digits. Houston is also just 22-33-1 against the spread this season despite constantly being a massive underdog. 

The Suns have won three straight games, and they had picked up back-to-back 20-plus point wins prior to beating the Clippers by seven points. 

I know that it’s a lot of points to lay, but can we really trust this Rockets team to hang with the best team in the NBA?

I’m leaning no, so give me the Suns tonight. 

Lean: Suns -15.5 (-110)
