With the Postseason scramble gaining steam in NBA, the Houston Rockets and Phoenix Suns clash to stay in the Western Conference's top five. BetOnline.com has the Phoenix Suns -7 point favorites against the Houston Rockets.
The Rockets are trying to regain their composure after their 22-game winning streak was unceremoniously snapped with a 20-point loss to Boston at home on Tuesday, which was followed with a loss at New Orleans in which Rafer Alston had some disparaging comments to make about the Hornets' David West. The Rockets have to be careful not to get too confident because of their streak, because there are a host of teams in the West that are looking to take Houston down a notch or two.
The Suns were mired in a slump as they waited for Shaquille O'Neal to get acclimatized to the Phoenix system, and have since rattled off a six-game winning streak. The Suns begin a four-game road trip on Monday, and they would like to build on their momentum as they head into the playoffs.
The Suns have taken three of their last five against the Suns, with the two splitting a pair of games this season. With the Rockets slumping and coming off a tough game at Golden State the night before, the Suns should be able to take advantage of a tired Houston team for the win on Saturday.
