Smart Game Analysis
Houston Rockets has a 78% chance of winning the game
With Phoenix missing its top two scorers, the Rockets are poised to extend their head-to-head winning streak behind a dominant frontcourt advantage.
Key Analysis
- • The Suns are severely handicapped offensively with both Devin Booker (groin) and Jalen Green (hamstring) ruled out.
- • Kevin Durant and Alperen Sengun present a mismatch nightmare for a Suns defense allowing 113.7 points per game.
- • Houston's defense ranks 2nd in the NBA, allowing just 110.3 points per contest, which will stifle Phoenix's role players.
- • The Rockets have won five consecutive games against the Suns, including a 22-point blowout earlier this season.
- • Houston leads the league in rebounding with 49.8 boards per game, guaranteeing them extra possessions.
- • Phoenix must get another 30-point explosion from Dillon Brooks to remain competitive in this road matchup.
