Houston Rockets vs Utah Jazz Prediction & Picks - NBA

Prediction published on 4/11/24, 3:02 AM  by Simon Day | Modified on 4/11/24 at 6:25 AM in NBA Picks

The Utah Jazz will be looking to end a 13 game losing streak when they host the Houston Rockets on Thursday evening. That horrendous run has seen the Jazz eliminated from Playoff contention for the second straight season. Their opponents are also out of the Playoff picture, following a topsy turvy campaign. An 11 game winning run in Match put them firmly in Conference Playoff contention, but this was followed by a five game losing streak that has left them outside the top ten for the fourth season in a row. 

The two teams have met three times previously this season, with Houston triumphing on every occasion. That, coupled with Utah's awful recent form, is a the prime reason why bookmakers have the Rockets as huge favourites to claim the win in this one. They are best priced at just 1.18 for the win, whilst Utah are available at 4.90.
