The Utah Jazz have been blessed with a gift in tonight’s contest. They’re facing the Houston Rockets on the wrong end of a back-to-back.
Not that the Jazz (38-22) can afford to underestimate the plucky young Rockets (15-46). This team plays hard, and is capable of exploding (or imploding) on offense.
Like many young teams, they just struggle to get stops. As long as the Jazz execute tonight, that’s likely to be the case. Quin Snyder has to be hoping for an opportunity to get his starters some rest, and Udoka Azubuike, Trent Forrest and Co. some reps.
