The Phoenix Suns are set to face the Houston Rockets in their next game after a recent victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Despite the potential fatigue from their back-to-back games, this win often boosts a team’s morale.
Phoenix Suns Momentum
After defeating the Thunder, the Suns are expected to carry a competitive edge into the Toyota Center. Teams that achieve victories against strong opponents often experience what is known as the “Beating a Champ Bounce.” This phenomenon can provide significant confidence, especially when facing teams like the Houston Rockets.
Shooting Performance
In their last game, the Suns showcased a solid three-point shooting performance, converting 40% of their attempts. This improvement contrasts sharply with their previous outing in Houston, where they only managed to hit 14% of their three-point shots, going 5-for-36. Expect the Suns to capitalize on their shooting ability in the upcoming matchup.
Rockets’ Injury Update
- Alperen Sengun will be absent from tonight’s game due to an ankle injury.
- The Rockets faced a tough loss to the Dallas Mavericks and lost Sengun early in that game.
- Despite his absence, the Rockets have shown decent performance without him this season.
