The Utah Jazz and Houston Rockets face off in back-to-back games after the first game ended 101-129 in favour of Houston. Two players stood out, and it's the second-highest scorer of that game that we're betting on in our Utah Jazz vs Houston Rockets match prediction.

Kevin Durant is the man in question, and his odds to hit 23 points are 1.50. He dropped 25 in that game, shooting 75% from beyond the three-point line and 70% from within, all in 30 minutes. We're expecting him to repeat a similar stats line against the same opponents on the same court.

Durant has already averaged 24.6 points for the season. What's more, the 37-year-old vet has scored 23+ points in the majority of his games, clearing that line in ten of his 15 games so far.

And if that wasn't enough, his stats against the Jazz are one of the most convincing we've seen. In his last ten games versus the Utah Jazz, Durant has averaged 30.9 points, and more interestingly, he scored over 22.5 points in all ten games.
