The Phoenix Suns just don’t look right and can’t be trusted in the favorite role given their current form. The Suns have not only lost 4 straight games, but they’re allowing 50.7 percent shooting in their last five games. The Houston Rockets have shown signs of life these last couple of weeks, and that includes a win over the Bucks. At home, the young, athletic Rockets should be up for this game as well. Give me the points.
