Saturday’s NBA slate features the Houston Rockets facing the Phoenix Suns for the fourth and final time this season.

*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Friday, March 1st. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Saturday, March 2nd.
Houston Rockets
Everything looked so promising for the Rockets to start the season. They were winning and Ime Udoka had convinced his youngsters to commit on defense.
Unfortunately, the tide turned and now Houston sits 12th in the West and the best the Rockets can hope for is to continue developing, building on their new culture, and playing spoiler.
Rockets Stats
The Rockets are tied for 24th offensively (112.2) and eighth defensively (112.6), with a net differential of minus -0.4 ranking 18th overall.
The Rockets perform better than their win/loss totals against the spread with a 29-28-2 record through 59 games.
Rockets Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Steven Adams, C (OUT for the season — knee)
- Tari Eason, SF (OUT indefinitely — leg)
Phoenix Suns
It’s hard to nail down precisely who this Suns team is. When healthy there is no denying how lethal the Big 3 are but Beal has missed so much time it begs the question if they’ll be able to get enough reps to fully mesh before the postseason.
Beal is expected back for this match which definitely helps but Phoenix will need him to remain on the court as they face the league’s toughest remaining schedule.
Suns Stats
As of this posting, Phoenix is eighth offensively (117.5) and 13th defensively (114.4) while their net differential is plus +3.1 which ranks 11th overall.

Free Houston Rockets vs. Phoenix Suns NBA Prediction:
Matches like this are essential for the Suns to win given the closing calendar.
They sit in fifth in a virtual tie with the sixth-place Pelicans, one game up on the Kings while the Warriors and Lakers are three games back. Of those teams, Golden State has the easiest remaining schedule of this group (8th easiest).
Houston kept it close on Thursday, but with Beal expected back I like the Suns’ chances of winning and covering.
