Houston Rockets vs. Phoenix Suns Preview: How to Watch, Injury Reports, Lineups, More
The Houston Rockets (25-34) will play in the third and final game of a three-game road trip on Saturday against the Phoenix Suns (35-24) in the Footprint Center. The Rockets will be looking to avoid losing their fourth straight game.
The team fell to the Suns in their last game on Thursday 110-105 in what was a hard-fought game. Devin Booker was the main reason why the Suns were able to grab the win, as he finished with 35 points and seven rebounds. The Rockets also had some solid performances from their players as well.
Jalen Green finished with 34 points, just eight points shy of his career-high of 42. Cam Whitmore also had a solid performance, scoring 14 points and grabbing eight rebounds off the bench.
The Rockets will immediately get a chance to rematch Booker and the Suns in their next game, and their objective is the same. While it is easier said than done, slowing down Kevin Durant and Booker will be the key to victory for the Rockets.
