Streaking Suns Host Rockets
The Phoenix Suns play host to the Houston Rockets at Footprint Center on Friday evening.

The Suns (15-6) look to build on a six-game win streak as they face the second and final game of a home stand looking to add to their impressive, 12-1 home record. Devin Booker is coming off an instant classic performance, as he tallied 51 points on 20-of-25 shooting, four rebounds, six assist and a steal in a home win over the Bulls on Wednesday. Booker averages 29.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.1 steals on the season. Mikal Bridges averages 15.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks, while Deandre Ayton is averaging 17.0 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. The Suns average 115.8 points per game, which is seventh most in the league, and they are holding opponents to an average of 108.4 points, which is sixth fewest in the league.

Meanwhile, the Rockets (5-16) hope to end a two-game slide, as they face the third game of a four-game road trip with a chance to build on their 2-11 road record. Jalen Green leads the team, averaging 21.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game, Alperen Sengun averages 15.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 blocks, while Kevin Porter averages 19.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.3 steals per game. The Rockets average 109.8 points per game, but they are giving up an average of 116.6 points per game, which is sixth most in the league. Jae-Sean Tate (ankle) has missed the last month of action but is listed as questionable for Friday.
