Rockets vs Suns Prediction 6 December 2025

The Houston Rockets are showcasing impressive form in their recent outings, securing four victories in their last five games. Their offensive prowess often allows the team to dominate on the court, excelling both inside the paint and beyond the arc. On average, the team scores 121.7 points per game, placing them fourth in offensive rankings, which speaks volumes about their high-level attack.

However, Ime Udoka's squad also excels defensively, allowing just 110.3 points on average (2nd best). In their previous matchup, they dismantled Western Conference underdogs Sacramento (121-95), maintaining control throughout all 48 minutes on both ends of the floor. Once again, Sengun dazzled with a performance of 28 points and 10 rebounds. The legendary sharpshooter Durant also contributed with 24 points. It's clear that the coach has managed to keep the roster competitive despite losing last season's key player VanVleet for the year.

Phoenix Suns enter this matchup following a streak of inconsistent performances: two wins and three losses in their last five games. The team boasts a potent offense, focusing on fast breaks and three-pointers, with an average scoring of 117 points (ranking 17th) in nearly all recent contests. Their defense holds up well against teams with strong offenses, but weaknesses may surface against well-organized attacking systems. An interesting fact about the Suns is that they were NBA finalists in the 2020/21 season.

Ott's squad continues to surprisingly hold a spot in the Top 7 of the West, thanks to excellent chemistry and standout performances from role players like Gillespie, Goodwin, and Brooks. However, veteran club figure Booker remains the central figure, having led his teammates to an away victory in their last clash with the Lakers (125-108). Following that battle, it was reported that Devin will miss the next three games, which casts doubt on whether the rest of the team can maintain their previous level of play.
