The Utah Jazz travel to Toyota Centre to face the Houston Rockets in the NBA on Friday night. Each of the last six games between these sides at this venue have gone over the total points line, and we are expecting that trend to continue here, as discussed in our match prediction below.
The Houston Rockets have enjoyed an impressive start to the season, winning nine of their first 12 games and now eyeing a third win on the bounce after beating the Warriors 115-108 in midweek.
The Rockets are fifth in offensive efficiency and seventh on the defensive end. However, they do rely heavily on individual performances, and it will be interesting to see how they fare when injuries occur.
Still, Houston have won five of their last six and are massive favourites in this one. Steven Adams and Clint Capela are ruled out for the home side in this match.
Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have been one of the worst-performing teams this season, 1-11 in their 12 games and now on a 10-match losing streak after going down 123-108 to the Magic on Wednesday.
A major contributing factor to their record is the injuries to Jusuf Nurkic and Jaren Jackson Jr., while Lauri Markkanen’s absence over the past few games has been another major blow. All three are out tonight as well.
The Jazz are 23rd in defensive efficiency and second-bottom on offence this season. They have lost all five away games to date.

Our Houston Rockets vs Utah Jazz Prediction
The Utah Jazz are missing a few of their best players and their defence has been one of the worst in the NBA this season, which certainly does not bode well for their chances against one of the league's best offences.
The Rockets have been profitable this season (9-3-0 ATS), but this is the first time in the campaign they have been installed as double-digit favourites. This line is simply too thick for our liking, but we we do fancy the over market for our main wager. Our Houston Rockets vs Utah Jazz prediction is over 215.5 points.
If your team in the Houston Rockets and Utah Jazz game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
If you want to place a bet on the moneyline in the Houston Rockets vs Utah Jazz game, then bet365 is the place to do it. If the team that you have bet on takes a 20-point lead in the game, then bet365 will pay your bet out as a winner. If your team goes on to lose, you are still a winner.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
