Suns vs Rockets (12-27-23) NBA Expert Predictions, Basketball Picks & Best Bets

We got the Phoenix Suns at the Houston Rockets right now the Phoenix Suns lane two and a half in Houston uh Rockets are a plus 110 moneyline dog to sitting at 225 and a half I mean I I’ll kick things off here give me the Rockets uh and the

Points here the two and a half I think they’re a live dog here as well I mean this is one a bet on the Rockets yes it’s a back-to-back spot for the Rockets but it’s at home which you know not quite as bad um and they’re coming off a

Loss against a Pacers team which they were they were favored to win probably should have figured out a way to get that a win in general the Rockets very good at home but honestly this is just a I’m looking to fade this Phoenix Suns team I mean our you know we’re we’re not

Even to the new year and already it’s like Kevin Durant not happy worried about um you know hey this team what what what are the pieces around him they don’t have any assets to make trades it’s like yeah because they traded for you what do we exactly I mean the you

Know Kevin Durant and as much as he’s been a a bit of a like a you know I don’t know what you call like a guy who uh embroiled in drama I think would be the kindest way to say it he’s still you know it it hadn’t seemingly affected his

His play on the court but we’ve seen some performances as has a late where he just looks really um kind of out of sorts so um yeah this to me is just a fade of this Suns team like in what world does this Suns team deserve to be

A road favorite especially in Houston I understand Houston coming off a loss here they were probably in hindsight looking ahead uh past this Pacers team maybe to this Sun’s Game because it was a non-conference thing with the Pacers so I’ll definitely take Houston here as

A small Road or sorry small home dog but yeah give me the Rockets uh noops any thoughts here rocket Suns yeah quickly this all just occur to me while we talking about this maybe Kevin Durant is just spoiled you know he starts his career as an Oklahoma in Oklahoma City

With arguably one of the best general managers like in the history of the NBA at this point in Sam presty no matter what happened every year a new star coming in plenty of backups to fill up Durant needs a night off no problem we’ve got James Harden Russell Westbrook

And Serge Ibaka to keep it happy he leaves that shangra of a situation to play probably the best basketball team I’ve ever seen you know the Golden State Warriors with him and again that’s a combination of a really great organization willing to spend money and

Got lucky you know a lot of people I think have forgotten by now Steph Curry comes in the league with these really bad ankles and is injured when he’s signing that first extension after being a rookie so does it get actually a max deal that’s kind of what you know allows

That entire situation and you know since then he goes to Brooklyn and he gets exactly what he wants but I I guess you know it’s a little tough when it’s not a great GM and a team willing to play a lot of money it’s hard to fill in these

Teams now he’s in Phoenix and it’s the exact same problem he got the Stars he wanted but everybody else it’s tough and they were even able to take eighton and try to I mean can you imagine how bad this team would be if they had eighton instead of nerk Grayson Allen oogi and

The couple other guys they were able to get in that trade I mean it’s just nuts and I look at this game tonight and I guess I’m just trying to distract the fact that I was horribly wrong about the Houston Indiana game last night sometimes you handicap game and you get

It totally wrong and I did um I thought Houston would control the pace at home like they have all season Indiana finally was able to play fast they were able to suck Houston into running with them it’s really the first rocket home game I can remember all year that they

Kind of lost complete control and I’m going back to the well I think that adoka is a good enough coach he’s going to get these guys set up again for the second night and they go against a team in Phoenix that’s not going to try to suck them into running tonight Phoenix

If you look has played really really slow over the last few weeks it was an offense that we expected to be really fast and um I saw in the chat there I want to make sure I get the name right on who asked this question about Bradley

Beal but yeah Mike I think that’s what Phoenix is missing without Beal they don’t have that extra ball handler to really speed this offense up to create the efficiency that you know we were expecting to see and we have seen in the 40 minutes the three of them have played

Together this year um so give me an under here the total’s 225 and a half I have this at like 221 again I think we’re back to business in Houston a nice slow ugly basketball game so I’ll go under yeah I was uh in the group chat noops uh

Like six minutes into the game he’s like oh this Pacers team total is cooked and I was like come on there’s plenty of time but you could just tell probably from the pace and you know how they were how they were seeing those shots go in

That it was going to be a little bit of a long night for the team total and you’re right like yeah that felt like a very add of character loss for this rocket team so again that’s why I kind of feel good buying back on them today

Even though it is a back-to-back spot um Chris how say you any any thoughts here Rockets Suns uh just struggles in general for the Suns well the only reason why I’m off this game is because you know Rockets are playing on a back toback and they’re

At home but this is kind of the same situation as last night right like the Suns need to get right three straight losses the suns were embarrassed by the Mavericks on Christmas I mean the Mavericks had control of that game right from the start of that game right and

You know as usual been saying that for three seasons on the show you see Devin Booker kind of losing his cool you know he gets like a technical foul or fight or something that’s just kind of what happens in those situations you know Kevin Durant I mean they’re kind of the

Same player you know they they want things to work out for them right and they had the luxury of CP3 in the past who was kind of the stabilizer for that team and the leader and the you know just the commander on the floor a guy that they don’t have anymore and and

This is just a different team now right there’s no more Landry shet uh Tory Craig you know Mel Bridges Cameron Payne a lot of the faces that we’ve seen there in in Phoenix for a very long time so now they have to kind of read discover

Who they are uh and now they’re facing a team who who has known who they are right uh Dylan Brooks brings an attitude to this team um so does e udoka and his style of uh you know style of coaching and defense and what he preaches over

There so I expect and you know all the intangibles tell me that Houston is going to take care of business tonight the only thing that you know it the suns are in a tough spot here right they’re getting more desperate they want to get

Right as well um and now you do have an offense that can still go off right I mean let’s face it two of the best shooters in the NBA are Kevin Durant and Devin Booker you know they still have some pieces around them but you know to

What one of our um uh audience members said they’re not just missing Bradley Beal you know it’s what we’ve been saying they’re missing a lot of depth you know this team just doesn’t have those guys that can come in and kind of bring the team back on their own uh so

It it’s a Suns team that’s kind of searching for itself I would just stay away from the Suns I’m staying away from this game because of what I saw last night and maybe Houston Falls victim to it again but I lean I lean to the

Houston Rockets at home yeah no you I I think you’re right like the the the way this rocket team loses this game or or doesn’t covers like a kitchen sink game from the Suns an offensive explosion crazy amount of effort like Hey we’re not going to be embarrassed those

Reports or BS blah blah blah and and they kind of go all in um you know which certainly is in the in the real of possibility there I I think if you like either side here there is some stuff you can correlate so um know I’m with noops

There not officially a play here but I do think Rockets plus two and a half does kind of gel with the under 225 and a half because if this ends up becoming a shootout it’s probably because the suns are really going off you know from behind the arc are just super efficient

So if you like the um if you like the Suns on the money line maybe look to get down on the over as well it feels like there’s some opportunities to correlate because very much like hey if you like the Rockets You’re Expecting X type of

Game if you like the Suns maybe a little wide type of game so if you’re looking uh looking to you know get a little spicy there uh maybe look into those markets noops officially on the under 225 a half lock it up for him and I’ll

Take the rockets on the side at plus two and a Half [Applause] heyy let’s get
