Suns vs Rockets Prediction 3/30/25 NBA Picks Today

The Houston Rockets invade the Footprint Center to battle the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night. Here’s a Suns vs Rockets Prediction. This article will include a Suns vs Rockets Pick.

The Houston Rockets have been in red-hot form as they’ve won 11 of their last 12 games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after taking down the slumping Jazz in a 121-110 road win on Thursday. Alperen Sengun led the team with 33 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks, Jalen Green added 21 points with eight rebounds and six assists while Amen Thompson chipped in with 15 points, 10 rebounds and five assists. As a team, the Rockets shot 46 percent from the field and 12 of 37 from the 3-point line as they worked hard just to take a two-point lead into halftime, before they open the third quarter with a 19-4 run to take full control. The only blemish from the dominant win was Fred VanVleet, who shot just one of 10 from the field for his four points.

Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns have been in pretty good form as they’ve won five of their last eight games overall. They will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting thrashed by the Timberwolves in a 124-109 road defeat on Friday. Kevin Durant led the team with 23 points, six rebounds and two blocks, Collin Gillespie added 22 points with 10 assists while Royce O’Neale chipped in with 21 points off the bench. As a team, the Suns shot 51 percent from the field and 18 of 37 from the 3-point line as they struggled to contain the Timberwolves from the start. They trailed in this one by as many as 22 points before they finished with a flurry to limit the damage at the end.

Matchup/League Facts

• The Suns rank 29th in the league for steals per game this season (7.1).
• The Suns rank 29th in the league for opponent turnovers per game this season (12.1).
• The Rockets rank 1st in the league for rebounds per game this season (48.6).

The Rockets have decided to rest Tari Eason, and they are keeping an eye on Reed Sheppard who is questionable, while the Suns are still playing without Bradley Beal who is out with a hamstring injury. These teams have already met twice this season, with the Rockets winning each meeting by single digits. The Suns were on a nice run before they got stopped by two playoff contenders in the Celtics and the Timberwolves, but the Rockets are coming into this game as one of the hottest teams in the league right now. With the line so short, I have to stick with the Rockets to maintain their momentum with a win and cover here.
