Houston Rockets        

The Rockets blast into this evening’s matchup sporting an 11-12 record that ranks them 4^th overall in the Southwest Division. But in the Western Conference, the Rockets currently find themselves seated at the No. 13 spot. This is terrible news for a team that was so close to competing for an NBA title last season. At the end of the day it’s the Rockets inability to outscore their opponents that is crippling them. Their defense isn’t all that terrible, seeing as how they rank 11^th overall in points allowed. Their offense however, isn’t faring as well seeing as how they rank 18^th in points per game. Fortunately for Houston, they’re going up against the NBA’s 24^th best scoring offense this evening. Despite playing on the road, Houston should be able to outscore them. Nevertheless, the online NBA betting odds are pegging Harden’s team as the underdog this evening. If Harden can get a little help, Houston should be just fine tonight.

Players to Watch: James Harden (30.6 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 8.7 apg), Clint Capela (18.1 ppg, 11.8 rpg, 1.7 apg), and Chris Paul (16.6 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 8.1 apg).

Utah Jazz

The Jazz enter this evening’s matchup sporting a 12-13 record that ranks them dead last in the Northwest Division. And in the Western Conference, the Jazz are seated at the No/ 12 spot – 1 seat higher than Houston. Both teams have a lot of work to do if they want to get into the playoffs so they should have a cutthroat approach to this Thursday night contest. The last time these two met the Jazz were able to dominate Houston 100-89 – and that was with Utah playing on the road. Since they’ll be at home this evening, one would assume that they should be able to deliver an even more lopsided result.

Players to Watch: Donovan Mitchell (21.3 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 3.6 apg), Rudy Gobert (15.5 ppg, 12.8 rpg, 1.8 apg), and Ricky Rubio (12.7 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 6.4 apg).
