The Phoenix Suns invade the Toyota Center to take on the Houston Rockets on Tuesday night.
The Phoenix Suns have been in a major slump as they’ve lost five of their last six games overall and they will be hoping to snap a four-game slide after getting stopped by the Pelicans in a 129-124 overtime road loss on Sunday. DeAndre Ayton led the team with 28 points, 12 rebounds and five assists, Mikal Bridges added 27 points while Cameron Payne chipped in with 17 points off the bench. As a team, the Suns shot 46 percent from the field and 13 of 38 from the 3-point line as they rallied back from a 15-point deficit to extend the game, only to come up short in overtime where they managed just seven points. Chris Paul had a night to forget as he finished with just six points on three of 10 shooting before fouling out on an offensive foul.
Meanwhile, the Houston Rockets have been in decent shape as they’ve won three of their past five games and they will be hoping to stay hot after sneaking past the Bucks in a 97-92 home win on Sunday. Jalen Green led the way with 30 points, seven rebounds and three assists, Kevin Porter Jr. added 18 points with seven assists while Kenyon Martin Jr. chipped in with 10 points off the bench. As a team, the Rockets shot 44 percent from the field and just six of 27 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in trouble after trailing by nine points in the third quarter, but they scrambled on the defensive end and held the Bucks to just 13 points in the fourth quarter to sneak away with the upset win. Jabari Smith Jr. had a rough night as he finished with just six points on one of nine shooting.
