KEY GAME INFORMATION

PHOENIX: LAST SEASON: 19-63, finished 15th in Western Conference.
COACH: Monty Williams (first season with Suns, sixth season overall, 173-221).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Ricky Rubio (12.7 ppg), G Devin Booker (26.6), F Kelly Oubre Jr. (15.2), F Dario Saric (10.6), C Deandre Ayton (16.3)
KEY LOSSES: F T.J. Warren, G/F Josh Jackson
KEY ADDITIONS: Rubio, Saric, G/F Cameron Johnson, F Frank Kaminsky III, F Cheick Diallo, G Ty Jerome
PLAYERS TO WATCH: The Suns are trying to build a winning team around the core of Ayton and Booker, who are both still young and put up big numbers last season. The 7-foot-1 Ayton averaged a double-double in his rookie season while shooting nearly 59 percent from the field. Booker averaged 26.6 points per game and nearly seven assists. Oubre was a pleasant surprise after joining the team midway through last season, scoring nearly 17 points per game after the trade and playing good defense. Rubio gives the Suns an experienced point guard who should help Ayton, Booker and Oubre get better scoring chances. Rubio's presence also allows Booker to play off the ball and focus on scoring.
OUTLOOK: The Suns should be much better than the 19-win version of a year ago. Rubio's presence along with the input first-year coach Monty Williams should give the starting lineup some discipline and structure. Phoenix's ceiling depends on the development of Ayton and Booker. If the two can develop into All-Star caliber players than there might be something brewing in the desert. The major problem is the Western Conference is still stacked with good teams, so a move into the playoffs feels a little far-fetched this season.

HOUSTON: LAST SEASON: 53-29, lost 4-2 to Golden State in Western Conference semifinals.
COACH: Mike D'Antoni (fourth season with Rockets, 173-73; 16th season overall, 628-499).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Russell Westbrook (22.9 ppg with Oklahoma City), G James Harden (36.1), F Eric Gordon (16.2), F P.J. Tucker (7.3), C Clint Capela (12.0).
KEY LOSSES: G Chris Paul, G Iman Shumpert, C Kenneth Faried
KEY ADDITIONS: Westbrook, C Tyson Chandler, F Thabo Sefolosha, F Ryan Anderson, F Ben McLemore.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: All eyes will be on Westbrook and Harden as the Rockets try to prove that these two ball-dominant guards can coexist after Houston sent Paul to Oklahoma City in exchange for Westbrook. Harden and Westbrook are longtime friends and played together in Oklahoma City at the beginning of Harden's career when he was the sixth man for the Thunder and insist that things will work out because they want them to. But things have changed a lot since their Oklahoma City days and it will be interesting to see how Westbrook will adjust to playing a supporting role to Harden after being the face of the Thunder for years.
OUTLOOK: The addition of Westbrook to this team starring Harden gives the Rockets two of the league's most dynamic scorers and playmakers a year after Houston lost to Golden State in the Western Conference semifinals. If the pairing of is successful it could help the Rockets become an offensive juggernaut in the stacked Western Conference. While Harden and Westbrook will drive Houston's success, players like Eric Gordon and center Clint Capela will have to continue to improve if the Rockets hope to finally get over the hump and compete for their first title since winning back-to-back championships in 1994-95.

PREVIEW

Harden, Westbrook look to fuel Rockets past Suns

James Harden and Russell Westbrook look for continued brilliance against the Phoenix Suns, this time as teammates, when the Houston Rockets open a two-game homestand on Saturday night.

The Rockets have beaten the Suns on 11 straight occasions, including three times last season. Harden had 30 or more points in each of those games in 2018-19.

The league's leading scorer has feasted upon Phoenix in recent years, pouring in 40 or more points against them six times, all since April 2012.

Over that period of time, there have been a total of just 20 other 40-point explosions against the Suns. Four of those 20 were authored by Westbrook, then of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Suns haven't seen Harden and Westbrook as teammates, but the first-year backcourt combination has worked well, leading Houston to a 14-7 record after a 119-109 road win over the defending-champion Toronto Raptors on Thursday night

Harden was limited to 23 points by the Raptors, but Westbrook came through with a triple-double featuring 19 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists.

Neither was the Rockets' leading scorer in the impressive win. That honor went to Ben McLemore, who recorded a career-high eight 3-pointers to highlight a 28-point performance.

"James is more than happy to just draw the double team," Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni told reporters. "Other than Russ and James, we took (44) 3s and made 19 of them. That's what you got to do -- wide-open 3s and just knock them down."

Harden did more than just score in last year's three-game sweep of the Suns. He complemented 41 points in the second meeting with 11 assists, and found time for 13 rebounds to go with 30 points in the third contest.

Westbrook's history against the Suns includes a triple-double in October 2016 that was headlined by 51 points.

The Rockets have won three of four, with the only loss being the controversial overtime defeat at San Antonio that Houston has protested over a disallowed Harden dunk in the fourth quarter. Houston has averaged 128.2 points in its last six games.

The Suns, meanwhile, have allowed an average of 123.3 in their last six. But they've squeezed a pair of wins into the half-dozen, including a 139-132 overtime triumph at New Orleans on Thursday.

Devin Booker warmed up for his duel with Harden with a season-best 44 points against the Pelicans. It was his second game with 40 or more this year.

He hasn't had the same measure of success against the Rockets that Harden has enjoyed versus the Suns. Booker, however, did counter his rival last season with 19- and 29-point games.

The win at New Orleans gives the Suns a chance to finish a four-game trip, one that began with a victory at Charlotte, with a winning record. But that would require ending a six-game losing streak at Houston that dates back to April 2016.

"This is a really big win and now we have a next tough game," Suns forward Dario Saric told reporters. "If we can do some great things (at Houston), it'll be a great trip for us."
