Saturday, February 22nd, the Houston Rockets will take on the Utah Jazz in the clubs’ third meeting of the season. The Rockets won the initial meeting on January 27th (126-117) while the Jazz won the second meeting on February 9th (114-113).

Houston Rockets
The Daryl Morey, Mike D’Antoni small ball experiment continues in Houston as the team is 3-2 since the trade deadline when they pushed all their chips in. One of those losses came versus the Utah Jazz so they’re fully aware of the new style type of the Rockets.

In their first game back from the break the Rockets easily took down the Warriors in a chippy affair which witnessed Russell Westbrook pick up two technicals resulting in his ejection from the match.
Prior to his exit, Westbrook delivered a double-double of 21 points and 10 assists. James Harden also registered a double-double of 29 points and 10 assists.
Robert Covington is fitting in well with his new team and posted 20 points in the victory. Likewise, new signee Jeff Green scored 17 points while PJ Tucker chipped in 15 points.
On the season, James Harden is the team leader in scoring (35.2), assists (7.4), steals (1.7) and blocks (1.0). PJ Tucker tops the rebounding (6.9), while Russell Westbrook tops field goal percent (46.4%).
Eric Gordon missed the last two games with a left shin contusion and is questionable for Saturday.
Utah Jazz
A back-to-back set is on tap for the Jazz this weekend as they face the Spurs on Friday and the Rockets on Saturday.
Prior to the break, the last game Utah played was a 116-101 victory over the Heat. Following that victory, Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell headed to Chicago both as first time All-Stars.
They each had big games in the win over the Heat with Gobert recording a 16 point, 20 rebound double-double. Mitchell was equally sound with 26 points, five rebounds, and four assists.
Bojan Bogdanovic (22) and Jordan Clarkson (21) were the other double-figure contributors.
On the season, Donovan Mitchell is the team leader in scoring (24.3 points) and steals (1.1). Rudy Gobert tops the rebounding (14.6), field goal percent (68.9) and block (1.9) categories. Joe Ingles rounds out the group with 5.2 assists per game.
Mike Conley is dealing with an illness that may hold him out of the match on Friday versus the Spurs and Saturday versus the Rockets. Ed Davis missed the past four games with a sprained ankle and is also listed as questionable for the weekend.
Nigel Williams-Goss won’t play Friday due to a left quadriceps contusion and is questionable for Saturday as well.
