Smart Game Analysis
Houston Rockets has a 76% chance of winning the game
The Rockets are poised to sweep this back-to-back set in Salt Lake City, capitalizing on Utah's depleted roster and porous defense that surrendered 129 points in yesterday's blowout loss.
Key Analysis
- • Utah's defense ranks 29th in the league, allowing 125.4 points per game, which pairs poorly against a Rockets offense scoring 121.6 points per contest.
- • The Jazz are without defensive anchor Walker Kessler (shoulder), leaving the paint vulnerable to Alperen Sengun, who scored 27 points in yesterday's matchup.
- • Keyonte George is listed as questionable with an illness after a scoreless, 8-turnover performance yesterday, severely limiting Utah's backcourt creation.
- • Houston dominates the glass as the league's top offensive rebounding team, creating extra possessions Utah cannot afford to give up.
- • The Rockets have won 5 straight road games and face no travel fatigue as both teams remained in Utah overnight.
- • To remain competitive, the Jazz must drastically reduce turnovers after committing 17 in yesterday's loss that led to 22 Houston points.
