Rockets vs. Jazz Picks

Point Spread Pick for Rockets vs. Jazz

  • Houston Rockets -12 (4 Units)

The Rockets have won four straight road games, while the Jazz have lost three of their last five home games. Houston has the edge because they’re playing well offensively, scoring more than 119 points per game on the road, while making 49 percent of their shots. Their ball movement is very good, and they rebound the ball well, grabbing more than 16 offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring chances. They also cut down their turnovers in their last three games and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Jazz aren’t very good defensively, and they’re giving up more than 127 points per game at home, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Rockets. Go with Houston to cover the spread.
