Houston is being asked to cover a double-digit line even though it has lost three in a row and is playing its third road game in four nights. The Rockets shot just 37.0 percent in their 107-98 loss at Golden State, and James Harden was the leading scorer with only 17 points on four of 18 shooting. Phoenix has covered three of its last five games while getting 10-plus points in all of them. The Suns shot 52.4 percent against Portland last night with Devin Booker scoring 31 points and Marquise Chriss adding 19 points and 13 rebounds. However, the Trailblazers won it at the three-point line where they were 15 of 37 compared to three of 10 for the Suns. Phoenix has covered the number six games in a row against teams with winning records, and they are 54-26-3 ATS after a loss of 10-plus points dating to the last two seasons. Harden is probable with a wrist injury. Grab the points and play the Suns against the weary Rockets.
