Houston vs Utah: prediction for the NBA match
Houston didn't get off to a good start to the new season. So far, the Rockets have won just one victory over Oklahoma (124-91). This is not surprising, since after the departure of James Harden everything that had been built for many years fell apart. All the rockets' hopes were connected with John Wall, but he did not play. This player suffered from injuries. Now he also does not appear on the parquet. In the last two matches, Houston were defeated by Boston (97-107) and Dallas (106-116). Christian Wood and Kevin Porter failed to bring victory to their team.

Houston Rockets
It is impossible not to note the progress of the “bulls”. This is not surprising, since a real “gang” has gathered in Chicago. Nikola Vucevic, Demar Derozan, Zach Lavigne, Lonzo Ball, all of these players can ensure that fans get the team into the playoffs. Billy Donovan’s team won all the starting matches. The Bulls first defeated Detroit (94-88) and then removed New Orleans (128-112) from their path. After that there was another victory over the Pistons (97-82) and a win over Toronto (111-108). It is worth noting that Avalanche could miss the match against the Knicks. Zach has a small ligament tear in his arm. Because of this, its access to the parquet floor is questionable.
Utah Jazz
In the offseason, Utah did not have much change in the roster. All the leaders remained in the ranks of the “jazzmen”. Unsurprisingly, Quincy Snyder’s charges started the new season well. So far, they have not suffered a single defeat, beating Oklahoma (107-86), Sacramento (110-101) and Denver (122-110). All their victories “Utah” gained thanks to a successful defense game. On average, the “musicians” concede 99 points per match. This is one of the best numbers in the league.
Prediction
Houston has a weak offensive line. The team really lacks John Wall, so it will be very difficult to open the defensive redoubts of Utah. The Rockets averaged 108 points. But in a confrontation with one of the best defenses in the league, this figure will be much lower. Rudy Gobert and company will probably stop the hosts' forwards. Our prediction is Houston's individual total is less than 107.5 points per coefficient 1.86 in BC 1xBet. Utah shouldn't have a problem with Houston. "Rockets" are inferior to "jazzmen" in all components. We believe that even native walls will not help Stephen Silas' wards. Most likely, the hosts will be loaded into a rich defensive line of the guests. The second prediction is for a handicap "Utah" (-6.5) points for 1.63.
