Defense vs offense. The first meeting between the Jazz and Rockets will be a showcase of two different styles.
The Jazz are limiting opponents to 105.8 a game, 44.4 in FG % a game, and 33.9 in 3 point FG %. They are one of the best defenses in the league.
James Harden is leading the league in again in scoring. He’s putting up historic numbers averaging again averaging 36.1 points a game.
Harden is suffering from a thigh injury and will be day to day. If he is not able to suit up against the Jazz, it will be an uphill battle for the Rockets.
Utah Jazz
This Jazz team has the capacity to smother teams in the backcourt and frontcourt. Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert are a great one-two punch.

Mitchell has had a great offensive season but is also a very underrated defender. Gobert is a beast on the boards and defending the paint.
The Jazz as a team are also underrated offensively. They may not put up a lot of points but they average 47.5 % in FG %.
That’s top 5 in the league and highlights their efficiency on offense. Their offensive efficiency does complement their great defense.
The Jazz does struggle playing from behind. Especially against a team like the Rockets who are explosive on offense, they will need to start the game well.
This is dependent on whether Harden plays or not. It will make a big difference in this game. Although Russell Westbrook is equally capable of leading an offensive onslaught.
Whether or not Harden plays or not the Jazz will have to be disciplined defensively and force Harden and Westbrook into tougher shots.
Houston Rockets
The Rockets have not been playing well recently. They’ve recently gone through a four-game losing streak.
Offensively there is no doubt they are lethal. However, when they play against solid defensive teams like the Jazz, they tend to run out of ideas.
If Harden or Westbrook is taken away or isolated they have struggled to find a consistent third option. Clint Capella and PJ Tucker show up at times but not consistently.
If Harden doesn’t suit up for this game, the onus might have to fall on the Rocket’s frontcourt play. Westbrook will fill the Harden void, but their frontcourt will need to make Gobert struggle.
Capella versus Gobert will be an intriguing matchup. Capella has played well this season but Gobert is an all-star caliber player as well.
The frontcourt battle might very well determine this game especially if Harden doesn’t play.
Free Houston Rockets vs Utah Jazz NBA Prediction: Jazz
This game is tough to call because of the inconsistent nature of the Rockets offense. It is also unsure of whether Harden will suit up. The Jazz should have the edge because of their defense but the Rocket’s offense could catch fire at any time with Westbrook and Harden in the lineup.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Jazz
Great defense edges out great offense.
