NBA : Houston Rockets vs Utah Jazz Odds & Prediction

Game Info: March 27, 2025 9:00PM EDT @ Delta Center

The Rockets are really good in terms of winning matches but poorly in terms of covering a spread, while the Jazz are in a very rough patch lately, suffering multiple blowout losses. Houston’s offense has been firing away, but Utah still has an edge over their head-to-head competition in the league this season. Injured key players on both sides make it more important for the matchup to heavily lean into depth. Expect a maximum capacity contest as the Rockets continue their strong-form run while the Jazz try to recover within their home venue.
