Colorado Avalanche a Modern NHL Powerhouse
The Houston Rockets visit the Phoenix Suns this Saturday, November 24th. Sportsbooks list Houston as 6.5-point favorites for this Western Conference showdown. The game tips off at the Mortgage Matchup Arena in Phoenix.
This matchup carries significant weight for playoff positioning. Both teams are separated by just one game in the standings.
Houston has dominated Phoenix throughout this season. They hold a perfect 3-0 record against the Suns. According to ESPN NBA data, the Rockets also covered the spread in all three victories.
This historical advantage gives Houston a clear psychological edge. Phoenix will be desperate to avoid a season sweep on their home court.
The Suns face a major challenge with Kevin Durant ruled out. His absence leaves a significant scoring and defensive void. Phoenix will rely heavily on Devin Booker and Bradley Beal to carry the offensive load.
Houston’s Alperen Sengun has been exceptional against Phoenix’s frontcourt. His interior presence could prove decisive given the Suns’ injury situation.
The Rockets have been strong on the road this season. Their 5-2 away record demonstrates their ability to win in tough environments.
Oddsmakers at USA Today SportsBook Wire show strong confidence in Houston. The Rockets’ moneyline odds of -235 imply approximately a 66% win probability. This is a substantial vote of confidence for a road team.
Phoenix’s home record provides a counter-argument. They have been excellent against the spread at home this season. The Action Network notes their 9-1 home ATS record as a key factor for potential bettors.
The total points line sits between 224.5 and 226.5 points. This suggests expectations for a moderately high-scoring affair.
