Utah Jazz @ Houston Rockets Preview

The Houston Rockets (49-27) are heavy favorites as they host the struggling Utah Jazz (16-60) at the Toyota Center. The Jazz are on a 17-game road losing streak and have been outmatched in recent contests. Meanwhile, the Rockets have been dominant, winning 8 of their last 10 games and showcasing a balanced attack led by Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun. Houston’s defense has also been solid, allowing just 109.1 points per game, which ranks 5th in the NBA.

The Jazz, on the other hand, have struggled on both ends of the floor, allowing 120.1 points per game (29th in the league) while scoring just 111.5 points per game. Utah’s young core, including Keyonte George and Isaiah Collier, has shown flashes of potential, but the team has been unable to translate that into wins. This game presents a significant challenge for the Jazz as they face a Rockets team that has been nearly unbeatable at home (27-11).

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

In their last 10 head-to-head matchups, the Rockets and Jazz are tied with 5 wins apiece. However, the Rockets have won the most recent meeting, a 121-110 victory at the Delta Center. In those 10 games, Houston has averaged 113 points per game compared to Utah’s 108 points per game. The Rockets have also covered the spread in 4 of the last 5 meetings, showcasing their recent dominance in this matchup.

Pick: Houston Rockets -17.5 (-110)

widget-odds-nba-ats-5160-UTA-HOU

The Rockets are the clear favorites in this game, and for good reason. Houston has been dominant at home and is facing a Jazz team that has lost 17 straight road games. The Rockets’ balanced scoring and strong defense should allow them to cover the large -17.5 spread. Utah’s inability to contain opposing offenses and their struggles on the road make this a tough spot for them to compete. Back the Rockets to cover the spread.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Jalen Green Over 22.5 Points (-115)

widget-props-nba-5160-2287412

Jalen Green has been on fire recently, averaging 28.6 points over his last 5 home games. With Utah’s defense ranking near the bottom of the league, Green is poised for another big scoring night. Expect him to surpass the 22.5-point line comfortably.

2. Alperen Sengun Over 10.5 Rebounds (-110)

widget-props-nba-5160-2287404

Sengun has been a force on the boards, averaging 11.2 rebounds per game this season. Against a Jazz team that struggles with rebounding, Sengun should have plenty of opportunities to dominate the glass and hit the over on this line.

3. Isaiah Collier Over 5.5 Assists (-130)

Collier has been a bright spot for the Jazz, recording over 5.5 assists in 4 straight road games. With Utah likely playing from behind, Collier will have ample chances to distribute the ball and keep this trend alive.
