On Monday February 26, the Houston Rockets arrive at the Vivint Smart Home Arena to face their host the Utah Jazz. Entering the game the Rockets are on the second night of a back to back having won 12 in a row.
The Jazz recently ended their 10 game win streak but won their last game vs. the Mavericks.
Last season the Jazz took two of the three games and this season the Rockets hold a 3-0 edge. The Jazz hold the all-time record having bested the Rockets in 103 of their 196 matches.
Houston Rockets
The best team in the NBA continues to roll with an 12-game win streak in tow. Denver gave the Rockets a battle, but in the closing moments of the game James Harden took over to ensure the win.
Harden continues to be the prohibitive favorite to win the MVP award. The trio of Harden, Chris Paul and Clint Capela has still lost just once (Pelicans) when all three play.

Trevor Ariza is finally back from injuring his hamstring and played in both games since the break. There was speculation Luc Mbah a Moute would remain in the starting rotation given the teams success with the forward and PJ Tucker particularly on defense.
But, Mike D’Antoni started Ariza while keeping Tucker in place of Ryan Anderson who is thriving off the bench.

Eric Gordon missed his second-consecutive game due to illness and remains questionable for the game in Utah.
Utah Jazz
Rookie Donovan Mitchell is leading his counterparts in scoring and giving Ben Simmons a true challenge for Rookie of the Year. The decision may come down to whether Mitchell and his Jazz can get into the post season.
If the Jazz can accomplish this goal it bodes well for Mitchell who is far more prevalent to the Jazz’ success. Utah remains in tenth place, two games back of the final playoff seed.
As Utah finishes the stretch run they do so with the knowledge they have the easiest schedule remaining of the top ten seeds.

Free Houston Rockets vs. Utah Jazz NBA Prediction: Jazz +2.5
Tough call here, but the Jazz will serve up stifling defense and the Rockets played in Denver Sunday night. Houston may still get the win, but I’m leaning toward the game being decided by 2 points or less.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick:
The front court prowess and Jazz defense simply will be too much for Houston.
