Key Stats
Utah Jazz
Utah is going to struggle today without its best players. Jordan Clarkson comes off the bench, but he’s still a high producer. Furthermore, Lauri Markkanen is out as well. He is their best all-around player. Therefore, it will be up to someone like Keyonte George to step up. George is coming off a strong 18-point game against the Dallas Mavericks. And he has been averaging over his season average of 12.9 points over his last 10 games. In that stretch, he has bumped it up to 19.0 points per game.
Houston Rockets
Houston has greatly improved throughout the year. And they have survived the loss of our Alperen Sengun well. Notably, Jalen Green has stepped up. Green averages 19.2 points per game. But over his last 10 games, he’s averaged 26.5 points per game. Additionally, Dillon Brooks is someone to watch for, as he is coming off a 23-point performance against the Chicago Bulls.

Game Prediction
This game will be a good one for the Houston Rockets. The Jazz are not healthy enough, and there are too many question marks within their lineup. Even if all of their healthy players were 100% right now, I’d still like this Rockets team to beat them by a convincing margin. Especially at home, the Houston Rockets should cover the spread, and this is likely to be a game that is essentially over by the third quarter at the latest.
Final Pick
Houston Rockets -11
