The Utah Jazz (9-8) travel to Houston tonight to face the Rockets (7-8) for the second time this season. The Rockets lost to the Jazz 102-92 on Nov. 19 in Utah. Harden didn’t have much of an impact the last time out, so look for him to bounce back as he tries to get Houston their fifth straight home win.
AccuScore simulations (10,000) project a Rockets victory 74.1 percent of the time, with an average score of 103.3 – 95.4. The Rockets are 6 point favorites and cover that spread in 55.2 percent of the simulations.
Somewhat surprisingly, the Rockets a projected to get a big win (10 points or more) 43.6 percent of the time. There is no way the Rockets are THAT good, but factoring in that every single one of Utah’s losses this season have come on the road and they’re playing a back to back after a loss at Oklahoma City, I can understand why the simulations would have those results.
The total for the game is set at 204 and the data has it going OVER in 57.9 percent of the simulations.

In his first season with the Houston Rockets, James Harden is averaging over 24 points per game as the primary offensive option. His new team may not be experiencing the same success as his old team, but James Harden has shown that he is as good as many believed.

For a wing player, Gordon Hayward is a pretty good shot blocker. He averages a half swat per game for his career, which may not seem like much, but how many shooting guards send somebody packing once every other game? In Saturday’s loss to the Rockets Hayward came up with his 12th denial of the young season, but his 13th would not come at the expense of #13…
