Rockets vs Suns Prediction 2/12/25 NBA Picks Today

The Phoenix Suns and the Houston Rockets collide at the Toyota Center on Wednesday night. Here’s a Rockets vs Suns Prediction. This article will include a Rockets vs Suns Pick.

The Phoenix Suns have been in a slump as they’ve lost five of their last six games overall and they will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting beaten by the Grizzlies in a 119-112 loss last night. Kevin Durant led the team with 34 points and five blocks, Bol Bol added 18 points with 14 rebounds and four blocks while Devin Booker chipped in with 17 points and nine assists. As a team, the Suns shot 44 percent from the field and 12 of 44 from the 3-point line as they struggled to match the Grizzlies in the first half and fell behind by 19 points which proved to be just too much to overcome despite cutting the deficit to just four points with 8:15 left in the fourth quarter.

Meanwhile, the Houston Rockets haven’t been at their best, but they will be feeling much better after putting an end to a six-game losing streak with a 94-87 win over the Raptors on Sunday. Dillon Brooks led the team with 19 points, Jalen Green added 18 points with nine rebounds and three assists while Jeff Green chipped in with 14 points off the bench. As a team, the Rockets shot just 36 percent from the field and 10 of 38 from the 3-point line as they struggled to score from the start and scored just 37 points in the first half before they sprung to life with 36 points in the fourth quarter to overcome a 10-point deficit and earn the much-needed home victory.

Why the Houston Rockets will win

• The Suns have lost each of their last 10 games as road underdogs.
• The Rockets have won each of their last eight Wednesday games.
• The Suns have failed to cover the spread in each of their last 12 games when playing with a rest disadvantage.
• The favorites have covered the spread in each of the Suns’ last four games.

Why the Phoenix Suns will win

• The Rockets have lost each of their last five night games.
• The underdogs have won three of the Rockets’ last four games at Toyota Center.
• The underdogs have covered the spread in each of the Rockets’ last six games at Toyota Center.
• The Rockets have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last eight games as home favorites.

Matchup/League Facts

• The Rockets rank 30th in the league for assists per game this season (22.5).
• The Rockets rank 1st in the league for opponent assists per game this season (22.6).
• The Suns rank 30th for points in the paint (2160) this season.
• The Suns rank 30th for points in the paint per game (41.5) this season.

The Suns are still shorthanded with Bradley Beal and Vasilije Micic still out, while the Rockets are still playing without Fred VanVleet and Jabari Smith Jr. The Suns really struggle when they don’t have their Big Three and they are playing their second game of a back-to-back set, but the Rockets were really struggling before their win over the lowly Raptors on Sunday so it’s hard to trust either team at the moment. With that being said, I still think the Rockets get the win at home, but this line just seems a little too high for the Rockets given their recent form.
