Houston Rockets vs Utah Jazz Prediction

The Rockets made light work of the Jazz yesterday, but usually the second game in such a short span is a lot more competitive. I wouldn’t be shocked if the Jazz competes more and make a game of this. There are fewer surprises after the teams played 24 hours ago. With that said, the Rockets are 12-5 ATS on the season. Only the Lakers have a better cover percentage in the NBA. The Rockets have covered 4 of their last 5 games as a double-digit favorite, winning those games by an average of 25 points. Thick number, but I’ll side with the Rockets again because of the covering success.
