The Utah Jazz will be hosting the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, January 19th.
The tip-off is set for 9:00 ET from Vivint Arena.
Utah started off as a 13.5 point favorite and that number is now down to 13. The total has gone from 235 to 234.
Houston Rockets
The Rockets have really not played well at all this year. It is hard to find all that much positivity with this team.
In their last three games, this team has won two of them. It is not very often that they have won more games than they have lost in a span of games, even if it is not the biggest sample.
I do feel there are some good, young pieces on this roster, but not many of them have developed yet. Unless that happens, it is going to be hard for them to have all that much success.
What I feel this team needs is a some veteran, established players on their roster to go along with their youth. If they do not do that, I am really not all that bullish on them.
Houston beat the Sacramento Kings on Sunday by a score of 118-112. It was good to see them do that after they lost to the very same team a few days before.
The scoring was very effective and balanced in their last game, as six players ended up reaching double figures. Both Christian Wood and Kevin Porter Jr. had 23 points on the night. If those two can have that kind of production, then it is possible they can do more winning than they have been.
Utah Jazz
The Jazz have played well this year, but it does seem like they are in a bit of a funk. Given the kind of club they are, I would expect them to snap out of it, though.
Utah currently has a record of 29-15, which puts them in 4th place in the Western Conference. For a while, it seemed like they were going to be in the top three, but the Grizzlies have been a very hot team that they have to watch out for.
They definitely have the talent to compete with the best of the best, but we still have to see it in the playoffs. For a few years now, this crew has been good in the regular season, but have not looked the best when the season is over.
Utah lost to the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday by a score of 101-95. All around, it was just an off day for this bunch and they will look to be much better when they take on the Rockets.
Defensively, they played pretty well in their last game, but the offense was not good enough. When you go against a team like the Lakers, it is not good enough to score under 100 points.
NBA Betting Trends:
- The Rockets are 3-12 ATS in their last 15 games.
- The Rockets are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games against Utah.
- The Jazz is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games.
- The total has gone over in 4 of Utah’s last 6 games.
Houston Rockets vs. Utah Jazz NBA Analysis:
After they laid an egg against the Lakers on Monday, the Jazz will look to get back on track on Wednesday night. It is definitely a good opportunity for them to do so.
The offense for Utah will have to better in this ball game than it was in their last one. I would not be surprised if they had success going against that defense for Houston.
This is a game that the Jazz really need to be able to get. They are the better team and should be able to show it.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Jazz ATS
Listen, I get that Utah has been hard to trust lately, but I like them here. This is a good spot for them to show up against a bad team and I feel they will take advantage.
The 13 is certainly a high number, but I do not mind it here. Once the Jazz gets into a rhythm, I feel they will be too much for the Rockets to handle.
