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.

Over/Under Pick for Rockets vs. Jazz

  • Over 233(4 Units)

The Rockets played over the total in five of their last nine games, while the Jazz played over the total in seven of their last eight games. Houston averages 119.9 points per game on the road. They play at the 27th-fastest pace in the league, averaging 101.8 possessions per game, and they’re facing a team that is giving up 127.6 points per game at home. The Jazz average 118.6 points per game. They play at the third-fastest pace in the league, averaging 107.2 possessions per game, and they’re facing a team that is giving up 110.4 points per game. Expect these teams to score enough points to push the score over the total. The Jazz and Rockets played over the total in their last four meetings.
