5* NBA WESTERN CONFERENCE BOOKIE BEATDOWN

Houston vs. Phoenix, 02/09/2012 21:00 EDT, Score: 96 - 89

Point Spread: -3½/-105 Phoenix

Sportsbook: 5Dimes

Result: Loss

The Houston Rockets come into this game off an impressive 103-96 win at Portland last night, but that win came at a cost as starting point guard Kyle Lowry injured his elbow and is not expected to play tonight. Lowry is a huge key to what the Rockets do on both sides of the ball, and without him on a back-to-back set on the road will really make it hard for Houston to win this game.

The Suns have really started to turn a corner of late. THey have won three straight and five of their last seven overall. Phoenix will be plenty motivated in this game, as they got crushed 71-99 at Houston earlier this month. BET THE SUNS!
