The Rockets really can’t afford to lose right now as they are 1 game out of the Western Conference playoffs with 4 games remaining. Despite that, they are just 4-6 in their last 10. However, they face a Suns team that has lost seven straight and has no interest in hurting their draft lottery status. Houston already owns the series as is, and should be motivated to put Phoenix away quickly tonight.
