Phoenix at Houston

Two teams going in different directions meet tonight, with Phoenix's rebuild mostly behind it and the Rockets just starting a new era without James Harden. The Suns are playing their fifth road game in a row, but the Rockets have lost four out of five with a 1-4 ATS record. The Suns have covered six of the last eight meetings and that was when they weren't very good. Phoenix has six scorers averaging double figures led by Devin Booker with 22.1 points per game. Deandre Ayton had a slow start to his career, but he now averages 12.9 points and 11.7 rebounds. The Suns are 15-6 ATS their last 21 games overall and 8-3 ATS on the road. Also, Phoenix has covered nine of 13 as a favorite. Take the Suns.
