The Houston Rockets will be looking to return to winning ways when they play away to the Phoenix Suns next in the NBA. One and a half games separate the two teams in the Western Conference, with the Rockets in fourth having the advantage over the Suns in seventh. Read on to find our prediction for this match.

The Suns are in strong form and will fancy their chances as they seek to end the Rockets’ advantage over them this season. Jordan Ott’s men have lost just once in their last seven fixtures and are on a two-match winning run.

They are coming off a statement victory over the Thunder, a significant shot in the arm. The Suns, who are 0.5 games out of the playoff places, have compiled a 21-14 record.

The Rockets have won both matchups this season against the Suns and have done so in quite dominant fashion. Ime Udoka’s men have kept the Suns under 100 points in both meetings and have won by a double-digit points margin.

 With this advantage, they will be confident of returning to winning ways after seeing a four-game winning streak snapped last time out.

Houston lost a Texas derby to Dallas 110-104 to incur their 11th loss of the season. The loss also had further damage on the team, with Alperen Sengun suffering a knee injury that sidelined him for this game.
