Rockets vs. Suns: How to Watch, Lineups, Injury Report, More

The Houston Rockets will attempt to extend their home winning streak Tuesday night against the struggling Suns.

HOUSTON — The Houston Rockets (8-18) will continue their impressive run Tuesday night during a western conference match against the Phoenix Suns (16-11). 

The Rockets recorded their fifth win in nine games after a 97-92 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday. Houston will take on a struggling Suns team that has lost four consecutive games.

"Chris [Paul] is the ultimate competitor, and they have lost four in a row — this game is going to be tough," assistant coach John Lucas II said. "Although he did not play the last game, he will look at this game as if we started them on their downward spiral."

The Rockets recorded a 122-121 road victory during their previous meeting against the Suns.

Jalen Green led the Rockets with 30 points. He exploded during the third quarter, where he scored 20 points on 6-of-10 shooting. Devin Booker scored a game-high 41 points in the loss.

"He was missing shots early, and he was struggling," coach Stephen Silas said. "Sometimes, you can get down on yourself when you are struggling, but he didn't. What he did defending Booker, it means a lot for him to take that challenge. We need his aggressiveness."
