Houston Rockets (9-3) and Utah Jazz (1-11) will meet in the Emirates NBA Cup group stage on Friday night at Toyota Center. The Rockets will be fired up to get their first win in Group A after losing 116-111 to Dallas in their opening assignment. But despite that setback, they’ve been on a tear this season, sitting fourth in the Western Conference with a .750 win percentage. The Rockets are also coming off back-to-back wins over the Nuggets and the Warriors.
Utah Jazz, meanwhile, are still searching for their second win this season, and we don’t see that happening tonight. They’ve had a rough time, especially on the road, where they’ve dropped all their five assignments. The Jazz will come into this assignment sitting at the bottom of the group after losing 112-100 to the Mavericks in their opening game. This was followed by losses against the Wolves, the Heat, and the Magic. Nothing seems to be going their way this season.

Our Houston Rockets vs Utah Jazz Prediction
The Rockets are the -1667 betting favorites here, suggesting that this could be a one-sided game. We’re backing them to win comfortably and cover the -14.5 spread because of their excellent home form this season. They’re 6-1 at home this year with a similar record against the spread. Utah may struggle to find answers to Houston’s offensive onslaught, led by Kevin Durant, who averages 20.9 PPG this season. Let’s also mention that the Jazz are struggling to score points this season, averaging 106.6 PPG. That’s only good for 29th in basketball so far this year. We don’t see them getting anything from tonight’s game.
Our prediction for Houston Rockets vs Utah Jazz: Houston Rockets to cover the -14.5 spread.
