Game Prediction
The Utah Jazz are not a good team this season. It doesn’t help that some of their best players have fallen to injuries. The Houston Rockets, on the other hand, have managed to play well even with their star Aleperen Sengun sidelined. There is no question that the Rockets will continue to be a dangerous team through the years.
I believe the Houston Rockets will take the win Thursday night.
Final Pick
Houston Rockets -5.5 (-110)
