This is the preview for the second game of a back-to-back between the Houston Rockets and Utah Jazz.
Houston won the first game 129-101, and the game was comfortably in hand in the second quarter. The Rockets scored at least 30 points in each quarter and none of Houston’s starters played more than 31 minutes.
Back-to-backs are usually splits, and you know the Jazz will want to come out strong after a disappointing first game. Houston cannot get complacent or this could get tight. Steven Adams will probably sit tonight as the Rockets have been pretty clear that he’ll be sitting out one game of back-to-backs.
Dorian Finney-Smith: OUT (ankle)
Steven Adams: GTD (ankle)
