Houston at Utah

This is a clash of styles as Houston likes to run, while Utah is all about playing a physical, suffocating defense. Houston has won 12 in a row, but this is a tough situational spot, the third game in four nights, and the second of a back-to-back road spot. The Rockets are off a 119-114 victory at Denver on Sunday with Chris Paul, Trevor Ariza, and James Harden all playing 32+ minutes. Meanwhile, Utah is rested and is also 19-10 straight up at home. The defense is third in the NBA in points allowed while the offense is sixth in the league from the charity stripe. Utah is 11-1 straight up the last 12 games, which included winning six times as an underdog or pick 'em. This is the fifth straight home game for the Jazz, who have not been swept by Houston in a season since the 1981-82 campaign. That streak continues as the rested home team is in a great situational spot to get the upset. Play Utah on the moneyline.
