The Jazz are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Rockets are 3-13-1 ATS in their last 17 Thursday games. The over is 4-1 in Jazz last 5 road games. The under is 4-0 in Rockets last 4 games playing on 0 days rest. The Jazz are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings. The under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Houston and 11-4 in the last 15 meetings.

I'm not excited to lay chalk with the Utah Jazz on the road, especially with them riding 5 straight losses, but there's no doubt they're the better team here. The Jazz have had more success and shown far more life at both ends of the floor. The Houston Rockets look like a team that's tanking most nights, and them being on the end of a back to back doesn't help matters. Give me the Jazz and the reasonable number.
