Both the Houston Rockets (49-29) and the Phoenix Suns (43-35) are heading to the postseason. However, it is highly likely that the Suns will be playing in the play-in tournament, while the Rockets are already locked into an official playoff spot.
While the Rockets are set to avoid the play-in tournament, they currently sit in the 6 seed but are separated by just 2.5 games from the 3 seed and just 1 game from the 5 seed. If they can move up, they will ensure homecourt advantage for the 1st round of the playoffs. And it certainly seems that they have their eyes set on moving up with their level of play lately. They are currently on a 6-game winning streak after squeaking out a 1-point victory against the Warriors on Sunday.
For the Suns, it is tough for them to realistically play their way out of the play-in tournament and steal the 6 seed. They would need to win out and have other teams fall in their favor. They are coming off a 10-point victory over the Bulls on Sunday, which was not enough to cover the 11-point spread. They have also lost 8 of their last 12 games. This is not the type of finish the Suns need as they limp into the postseason.
Dillon Brooks will be available for the Suns in this one, as his 18th technical foul was rescinded. While that is a plus for the Suns, they are going to need to play at the top of their level against this visiting Rockets team.
