The Rockets enter tonight with Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming ready to tear it up. McGrady is a 90 overall player, with 85 dunking ability. The towering Ming is rated 88 overall and is listed as a 2-Way Mid-Range Finisher.

The Suns will have more weaponry on their side. Steve Nash is listed at 95 overall and his 3-point overall (92) could be the difference-maker. Amar’e Stoudemire is rated 89 overall and is listed as a mid-range Finisher. His 95 dunking ability will need to be watched by Ming in the paint. Adding to the Suns’ roster is Shawn Marion. He is listed at 86 overall.

Phoenix has the advantage in team overall as well, although it is only a slight one-point advantage. The Suns are read 80 overall, while the Rockets come in a t79 overall.

Outside scoring will be huge for Phoenix tonight. With both teams’ defense and rebounding rather low, outside scoring that avoids the key will lead to more chances for either side. As it stands, the Suns have an 86 outside scoring ability, compared to Houston’s 83.

With the higher overall players on the Suns, it’s easy to see why Phoenix is a favorable selection. But you can’t forget about McGrady and his ability to come up clutch.
