Premium Pick

Houston gets it done at home, but is just 8-15 on the road. They are also in a slump, just 3-8 ATS the last 11 games as well as 2-7 ATS in their last nine road games. The Rockets are not a good defensive team, No. 21 in the NBA in points allowed, which explains their poor road performance. This is a terrible situational spot for Houston, the second of a back-to-back road spot after losing at the Clippers last night, 95-91, in a grind-it-out game. It's also their seventh road game over the last eight games! Phoenix, meanwhile, is rested and the Suns are 7-1 ATS in their last eight home games. This is a big game for the home team, trailing the Rockets for that final No. 8 playoff spot by a game and a half. Phoenix is on a 5-1 SU/ATS run overall and rested. The Suns are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games vs. a team with a winning record and have owned this team. The Rockets are 8-22 ATS in the last 30 meetings. Play the Phoenix Suns.
