Last season, the Phoenix Suns (3-3) swept the Houston Rockets (1-6) in their three games during their march to the NBA Finals. The two meet again for the first time this season on Thursday night, and Houston is hoping that they can capitalize on a banged-up Phoenix side. Deandre Ayton and Cameron Payne are both dealing with lower body injuries, and neither played in the Suns' Tuesday night win over New Orleans.

Phoenix is favored by 10.5 points in the latest Suns vs. Rockets odds from Caesars Sportsbook, and the over-under is set at 218. Before you make any Rockets vs. Suns picks or any other Thursday night NBA predictions, you NEED to see what the SportsLine Projection Model is saying.
