NBA Basketball Odds: Houston at Phoenix

Are you betting on the Rockets? (AI Wire Images)"]

The Houston Rockets continue their battle for playoff position in the tightly packed Western Conference race tonight when they visit the Phoenix Suns, who are hoping to rebound from a winless road trip and improve their fading postseason chances.

Before visiting the Lakers on Friday, the Rockets begin a challenging stretch run with a game at Phoenix, which hasn't given up on pulling back into the playoff picture despite missing some big opportunities to make a move over the last week.

Phoenix took a season-high six-game winning streak into a three-game road trip but returns home riding a three-game skid.

Steve Nash, who averaged 20.7 points in 15 games in March, scored a season-high 32 with 13 assists in his last game against Houston. Phoenix is 0-4 this season when he scores more than 25. The Suns are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games. Get your NBA basketball lines with Bodog today.
