Betting on the Houston Rockets
- Season record: 5-15
- BetMGM Spread: (To be defined)
- BetMGM Moneyline: (To be defined)
- BetMGM Over/Under: (To be defined)
The Rockets got the road trip against the strongest team in one of their worst moments. They already lost the first one against the Nuggets by a score of 129-113, and they still have to play against Golden State and the Suns.
Against Denver, Alperen Sengun was able to score only 18 points and 7 rebounds. The Nuggets are in good shape, while the Rockets are still a very limited team, despite having won two games in a row.
Playing as visitors, they are still one of the worst teams in the league, with a 2-10 record. One of the most complicated moments of the season is coming up, and either they get back on their feet and start winning important games, or they continue to sink in their terrible moment.
Betting on the Phoenix Suns
- Season record: 14-6
- BetMGM Spread: (To be defined)
- BetMGM Moneyline: (To be defined)
- BetMGM Over/Under: (To be defined)
The Phoenix Suns are on a 5-game unbeaten streak and are going through a spectacular moment. Devin Booker scored 44 points against the Kings in the 122-117 win, and DeAndre Ayton has scored at least 28 points in two games. In addition, they defeated the Jazz 113-112.
At home they have only lost one game and that was against Portland on November 5 by a score of 108-106 and from that moment on, they have become invincible in Arizona. The Suns are expected to be one of the strongest teams in the playoffs, and a loss to the Rockets would draw a lot of attention from opponents.
In their schedule, they have a game coming up against Boston that could be a potential opponent in the next Finals, so this game serves as preparation for that. In addition, it is possible that a lot of substitutes will get minutes, but the Phoenix Suns’ bench is strong as well.
JefeBet Prediction
It looks unlikely that the Rockets could take the game from the Suns on their home court. This time we believe that such a result will not be possible, and the victory will go to Phoenix.
The Rockets showed that they don’t perform so well against powerful teams, and that they do even worse playing as visitors. The Suns are in a high level and dominate the Western Conference. There will sure be plenty of action on the scoreboard, especially if DeAndre Ayton goes “Dennis Rodman Mode” and Devin Booker stays on his high level.
