Sunday NBA features a full slate of games with 12 contests, but none might be as exciting as this one.
As far apart as these teams are in the standings (Houston sits in third while Phoenix occupies the penultimate spot out West), this has the potential to be one of the most explosive matchups of the season.
Phoenix is a young team with an absolute stud in Devin Booker who can score points at will, as evidenced by his 70-point outburst earlier this season.

Houston is an offensive juggernaut with one of the toughest players in the game to guard, James Harden.
Combine all that with the fact that these two teams run two of the fastest offenses in the game and you have a recipe for a barn-burner.
We’ll get this out of the way now: Pick the over.
*All statistics, standings, records, rankings and trends are current as of this writing at.
Houston Rockets
Houston enters this game on a three-game losing streak but has won just six out of its last 10.
On the year, the Rockets are scoring 115.3 points per contest. That number is good enough for 2nd in the league.
Defensively, this squad allows its opponents to score 108.9 points per night. That number puts them at 25th in the Association.

Against the Suns, Houston needs to take care of the ball. Like their own offense, Phoenix takes full advantage of teams that cough up the ball by getting out in transition.
Typically in a game against Phoenix, we’d watch out for teams looking to slow it down and make them uncomfortable. But in this case, the Rockets aren’t likely to change up their own strategy and will instead look to play a clean game than their inferior opponent.
Phoenix Suns
Phoenix enters this game on a 10-game losing streak. For those keeping track at home: That’s not good.
But as previously stated, wins are losses and losses are wins for a team looking to improve draft positioning. So don’t feel too bad for this franchise at the moment.

Free Houston Rockets vs. Phoenix Suns NBA Prediction:
Houston isn’t going to leap into second place out West before the season ends, and it’s unlikely to fall to fourth. So if you’re picking Phoenix ATS, we don’t blame you considering this is the exact type of contest the Rockets could mentally check out of early.
But we’re not buying Phoenix’s ability to keep up as long as Harden is running the show.
