Look, the Jazz are a mess. They just got smacked by Cleveland 129-113, and before that, they dropped one to San Antonio. Their 21-56 record tells you all you need to know about where they're at.
The key matchup to watch is how Utah's backcourt, whoever's left standing, tries to contain Jalen Green. Green's been on a tear, averaging over 28 points in his last dozen games, and he's not slowing down. Houston, meanwhile, is playing for something, sitting at 47-29 and making a late push. They've won eight of their last ten, including a tight 101-100 win over the Thunder. They're motivated, and the Jazz are just trying to get to the offseason.
The Rockets will roll here, probably something like 125-105.
