The Houston Rockets, who once used to be one of the forces to be feared in the Western Conference, had the misfortune of being the worst team of the 2021/22 NBA season with a record of 20 wins and 62 losses, and they may follow suit this season considering the start they have had.
The team began the regular season with a 1-5 record, and comes into this game on a two-game losing streak after back-to-back losses to the Jazz (109-101) and Trail Blazers (125-111). Moreover, they have the fourth-lowest points per game average in the league (107.3) and the second-lowest conversion percentage on their shots (41.9%), which is hardly surprising.
Betting on the Phoenix Suns
- Season record: 3-1
- Unibet Spread: [Por definir]
- Moneyline from Unibet: [Por definir]
- Over/Under de Unibet: [Por definir]
Unlike the Rockets, the Phoenix Suns finished last season with the best record in the NBA, with 64 wins and just 18 losses, and although they started this season with some ups and downs, the team has recovered and will come into this game riding a three-game winning streak.
The most astonishing fact is that they not only won those games, but they won them by 13 points or more each time. Rather than their offense, what has really stood out so far is their defense, which ranks as the third best in the league, allowing an average of only 104.5 points per game.
JefeBet Prediction
As the record suggests, this will be a very lopsided encounter between two teams that will have completely different paths in the season.
The good defense shown by the Suns so far could be enough to completely nullify the Rockets’ offense, which has been unreliable so far, and even Phoenix has a better man-to-man quintet than their opponent.
It’s also worth remembering that the Suns have won eight consecutive games against the Rockets, and three out of the last four saw them win by more than 10 points.
Prediction: Phoenix Suns Spread (HOU 102 – PHX 115)
