Utah Jazz v Houston Rockets



28th February 02:05 GMT

The previous game between the teams two weeks ago showed how misleading box scores can be and looking at the final result. Houston led almost the entire match and played solid. However in a game that was prone to turnovers by both teams, it was Houston that with a series of bad decisions in the final two minutes lost the game that they were completely in control of almost the entire time.

Ariza is almost sure to be out today, but still, this is Houston v Utah match. These teams have been rivals the last few seasons; with the past two seasons in a row the teams playing each other in the playoffs. Both times Utah progressed despite few heroic performances by the Rockets. Both teams proved this season they can beat each other on the road and more important, that they are capable of matching their opponent. Utah trashed Houston a few times before in the last years and Houston are in bad form, but still... Houston have played better on the road than at home lately and the line is really high here.



Pick: Houston +9.5, 1.95 odds - 3 units play - Pinnacle
