NBA Basketball Betting – Rockets Host Suns

The Phoenix Suns, (53-26 SU, 38-38-3 ATS, 44-35 O/U), are showing online basketball betting players as well as the rest of the western conference just why they acquired Shaquille O’Neal and have six of their last eight games in the BetUS Sportsbook, including an emphatic 96-79 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday.

The Houston Rockets, (53-25 SU, 45-31-2 ATS, 34-43-1 O/U), have been reminding their opponents just how they won a franchise-record 22 consecutive games at one point this season, winning four straight games coming into this affair including a resounding 103-80 win over the Seattle Supersonics on Wednesday.

The Suns are looking to complete their ‘Texas Two-Step’ against a Rockets team that will be getting superstar Tracy McGrady back in the lineup tonight.

"Anytime you come here it's a good win," Steve Nash said of his team’s win over the Spurs. "But we're also still fighting for seeding. It gives us another possibility as far as seeding goes."

The Rockets, one of the most featured teams in the BetUS Locker Room this season, are a half-game ahead of Phoenix in the West though both teams still have a shot at getting the conference's No. 1 seed.

"If we lose, Phoenix and Utah and everybody is going to get over us, we would lose home-court advantage and it would make things much more difficult," Rockets rookie Luis Scola said.
