FanDuel. Amen Thompson has cleared this line in ten of his last fifteen games. Thriving mostly on the fast break, this is a plus spot for his scoring potential as the Suns allow the twelfth most transition points this season. Without Tari Eason tonight, Thompson should be in store for big minutes, as he’s seemingly fully in the clear after dealing with an ankle injury.

Amen Thompson has been a revelation for the young Rockets who have taken the Western Conference by storm and currently own the number 2 seed in what is a stacked playoff picture. Thompson who has a strong case as the NBA’s MIP, has earned a big role and is able to contribute in a myriad of ways while routinely posting double doubles and piling up plenty of helpers. This looks like a good spot considering we’re getting a discount on this combo line, in addition to being a strong matchup, in a game that projects to be competitive as well.

The Phoenix Suns are broken and while I consider Devin Booker one of the best players in the league, the team is playing with no cohesion, the body language is terrible, and there are reports of infighting. Booker has struggled this season and he is playing out of position as the teams primary playmaker. Booker has also struggled against the top defenses in the league and he will be facing a top 3 defense in the Rockets. Almost all of Booker’s numbers are down this year, including his efficiency, and its culminated in a rough March where he’s averaging just 22/8/4 and has been held under this line in 10 of his last 15 appearances.

The Rockets have won 9 of their last 10, averaging over 117/G in that span, ranking top 10 in O and D with good balance. They have rediscovered their form and are making a move in the West. They beat PHX by 8 and by 7 already this season and while the Rockets haven't been covering well, they also haven't only been laying two points. The Suns' defense has improved but is still leaky (21st in D rating over the last 10 games) and Houston has bigs who can pound them. The Rockets' injury report looks promising. They have the look of a team peaking for playoffs at a time others in West (Lakers, Warriors, Grizzlies) are meandering.
