Are you betting on the Rockets? (AI Wire Images)

The Houston Rockets continue their battle for playoff position in the tightly packed Western Conference race tonight when they visit the Phoenix Suns, who are hoping to rebound from a winless road trip and improve their fading postseason chances.

Before visiting the Lakers on Friday, the Rockets begin a challenging stretch run with a game at Phoenix, which hasn't given up on pulling back into the playoff picture despite missing some big opportunities to make a move over the last week.

Phoenix took a season-high six-game winning streak into a three-game road trip but returns home riding a three-game skid.

Steve Nash, who averaged 20.7 points in 15 games in March, scored a season-high 32 with 13 assists in his last game against Houston. Phoenix is 0-4 this season when he scores more than 25. The Suns are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games. Get your NBA basketball lines with Bodog today.
