December 21st, 2019 By: ATS Staff

The Phoenix Suns (11-17) will try to snap their five-game losing streak when they square off with the Houston Rockets (19-9) at Talking Stick Resort Arena. The game can be seen on NBATV at 9 p.m. ET on Saturday, December 21, 2019.

Houston Rockets vs. Phoenix Suns ATS Prediction

The last time the Rockets played, they beat the Los Angeles Clippers, 122-117, as 5-point underdogs. The combined points for the game (239) were just over the O/U total of 236.5. The Rockets knocked down 22 of their 29 free throws (75.9 percent) and held the Clippers to an offensive rebounding percentage of 17.5 (below their season average of 24.4). Houston was led by Russell Westbrook, who was the game’s leading scorer with 40 points on 13-for-31 shooting.

The Suns got blown out by the Oklahoma City Thunder in their last matchup, 126-108. They were not able to cover as 12.5-point underdogs. The game’s combined points (234) finished over the projected point total of 228. Oklahoma City’s effective field goal percentage was their largest advantage over Phoenix. The Thunder had a rate of 0.621 (above their season average of 0.530), while the Suns posted a mark of 0.500. With 24 points on 9-for-11 shooting, Ricky Rubio was Phoenix’s high scorer.

This is the second game of the season between these two teams. In the first, Westbrook recorded a triple-double. He put up 24 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists and the Rockets defeated the Suns 115-109 but did not cover as 11.5-point favorites. The game finished with a total of 224 points, which was 16 points below the projected point total of 240 points. Houston did an excellent job of getting and making free throws (22-30; 73.3 percent). Phoenix, meanwhile, had a better offensive rebounding percentage (24.1 vs. 20.8).

Houston holds records of 19-9 straight up (SU) and 14-14 against the spread (ATS). Of the Rockets’ 28 games, 16 have finished under the O/U total.

Although Phoenix has trouble winning games outright (11-17 SU), they have a solid record ATS (15-11-1). Contrary to Houston, games featuring the Suns have typically finished over the total (55.6 percent).
