After beginning the road trip with games against the Jazz and Trail Blazers , the Rockets visit the 4-1 Suns, who are beginning to look more like the team that had the NBA’s best record last season with each game. Looking for their first road win of the season, the Rockets have a way to go to reach last season’s 0-11 start on the road. But as they play the first game of a back-to-back, things get no easier. The Suns are 4-0 at home. The Clippers, who the Rockets face on Monday, are 1-1 with the home loss coming to the Suns.The Rockets had their worst defensive game of the season on Friday, giving up 125 points on 53.3 percent shooting to a Trail Blazers team playing without Damian Lillard.
