This game could get ugly in a hurry. The Jazz are red hot, having won 14 of their last 15 games. Three of their last four wins have come by at least 22 points. On the other side of the court will be the Rockets, who already have ruled out Russell Westbrook (rest). It also looks like they will be without James Harden (thigh), who is listed as doubtful. Despite this lofty line, I like the Jazz to cover.
The Rockets won't have James Harden or Russell Westbrook tonight, and they're coming off a grueling 117-110 loss in Denver on Sunday. Utah is rested, has won 19 of 21, and is averaging 120.5 points during its current four-game win streak. The Jazz also remember that Houston eliminated them in the first round of last year's playoffs. Lay the points.
