Oddsmakers currently have the Rockets listed as 7-point favorites versus the Suns, while the game’s total is sitting at 211½.
In their last action, Houston was a 118-108 winner at home against the Nuggets. They covered the -7-point spread as favorites, while the combined score (226) was profitable news for OVER bettors.
Houston will be without power forward Terrence Jones for at least three games after he suffered a collapsed lung in the win over the Nuggets. Jones was hospitalized overnight, and coach Kevin McHale told reporters that Jones is “having a tough time breathing” from the hard hit he took in the ribs. “He came out here and gave us the right energy and played well and got back in the starting lineup and for something like this to happen is very unfortunate,” guard Patrick Beverley told reporters in reference to Jones.

Last time out for Phoenix, they were a 74-72 winner as they battled the Pelicans at home. The Suns failed to cover in the match as a -3-point favorite, while 146 combined points moved the game UNDER for totals bettors.
Point guard Eric Bledsoe was one of the cold-shooting players by scoring just five points on 2-of-15 shooting against the Pelicans but was more interested in talking about other areas of his game, which included four steals and matching his career high with 11 rebounds. “I played great defense, I had 11 rebounds, I helped my teammates on the boards,” Bledsoe told reporters. “Steals, I had a bunch of steals too. So if I’m not making shots, don’t worry about it because I do so much to help my team win.” Center Brandan Wright had a big game – offensive and defensively – with 16 points on 8-of-10 shooting and matching his career high of seven blocked shots.
