The Phoenix Suns will travel to Texas as they take on the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center on Wednesday. This will be the first meeting between the two sides this season as they will face each other two more times during the season.
Both teams have been having contrasting seasons so far with the Suns enjoying a great start to the season but faltering as the season progressed, while the Rockets had a slow start but picked up the pace during the middle of the season. Currently, the Suns find themselves outside the play-in spots in 11th place with a 26-27 record while the Rockets are well within the playoff picture in fifth place.
Despite reflecting a 33-20 record and on course to qualify for the playoffs, the Rockets have been in a slump of late. They earned their first win of the month during their last fixture against the Toronto Raptors which ended their six-game losing streak which began on Jan. 30.

The win, however, coincides with their four-game home run and should provide the team with the motivation it needs to regain its winning mentality.

On the other hand, the Phoenix Suns have a similar record to the Rockets as they only have two wins in February. Their last two games have been defeats to the Memphis Grizzlies and Denver Nuggets, with their last win coming against the Utah Jazz in overtime on Friday.
Kevin Durant and Co. will need to do better if they are to qualify for the playoffs automatically as they are currently outside the play-in spots at the time of writing.
