Prediction for the NBA match between Houston vs Phoenix, which will take place on February 24th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Rockets came out of All-Star Weekend with a road game against New Orleans. There was no fight as such - Ime Udoka's team lost without any chance. After the first half, Houston trailed by 13 points, and in the second half, they allowed their opponents to extend the lead - 105-127. It's already clear that the Rockets are unlikely to qualify for the playoffs by the end of the championship. At this point, even Houston's gap to the top-10 is a solid 4.5 wins.

The Suns travel to Texas after the break. Unfortunately, they couldn't deal with Luka Doncic and his Mavericks. Phoenix led the whole first half, but in the second half, they allowed their opponents to make a gap, which they never got rid of until the end of the game. 113:123 - even Devin Booker's 35 points couldn't help the Suns. Phoenix is in the teams claiming the 5-6 spots in the Western standings. Now the Suns share the sixth place with the same Dallas, one win behind the fifth New Orleans.

Houston has given up on the idea that they can contend for a tournament spot and have stopped fighting for results. After New Orleans, the Rockets will surely lose to Phoenix, another team from the Western Conference playoffs. At least, it's unclear how today's Houston can stop Durant and his team. Let's go with the Suns and a higher total, given the Rockets' defensive struggles and Phoenix's offensive prowess.
