Our Utah Jazz vs Houston Rockets Prediction
Strangely enough, Utah actually beat Houston in their first meeting this season. However, this game was back in February, and the Rockets have improved significantly since then. Instead, we are going to simply look at the over.
The Rockets are averaging 113.5 points per game this season, which is just below average at 17th in the league. As for the Jazz, they are averaging 112 points per game, which ranks 20th in the league. Defensively, the Rockets are much stronger, allowing 109.1 points per game, while the Jazz are allowing 119.8 points per game, which is the second worst scoring defense in the league.
While Houston’s defense could shut down Utah, the Jazz should be able to score close to 100 points, which means the Rockets will need to score about 120, a number the Jazz have allowed in three straight games. For that reason, our Utah Jazz vs Houston Rockets prediction is over 228.5.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
