Houston Rockets vs Utah Jazz Prediction
The Rockets are still missing Fred VanVleet, Tari Eason and Dorian Finney-Smith with Steven Adams listed as questionable, while the Jazz have ruled out Kevin Love and Georges Niang with Keyonte George listed as questionable due to an illness. The Jazz looked good in their win over the Kings on Friday, but they really have a tall task in taking on this red-hot Rockets team who will be well rested as they haven’t played since Wednesday.
The Rockets were always going to be heavy favorites in this matchup and I don’t give the Jazz much of a chance at all if George isn’t able to suit up. The Jazz have surprised some teams at home this season, but I am sticking with the Rockets to maintain their momentum with another win and cover in this spot.
