The Houston Rockets have a good chance to sweep their three-game homestand when they face off against the Utah Jazz on Friday night.<\/p>\n
Houston has now won four games in a row after dropping two on the road, while Utah has lost seven straight since upsetting the Bucks.<\/p>\n
The Rockets took two of the first three meetings this season, most recently coming away with a 125-105 win on February 23.<\/p>\n

He scored at least 20 points in his previous seven contests, including a 40-piece in Chicago a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n Durant is still averaging 25.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game this season. He’s always one to watch, especially against a team like Utah.<\/p>\n Jazz vs. Rockets Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n The Rockets got a 20-point win over the Jazz just over a month ago, and I don\u2019t see a reason to expect a different outcome tonight.<\/p>\n Houston is still pushing to finalize itself as the No. 5 seed (or better) in the West, and it\u2019s 27-10 at home while Utah is just 8-29 on the road.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a big spread, but it\u2019s warranted given the gap between these two teams.<\/p>\n Pick: Rockets -17.5 (-105)<\/a><\/p>\n Unlock $200 in bonus bets \u2014 all without a promo code for DraftKings<\/a>.
