BTB Betting Pick
The Rockets are favored by 12 points against the Jazz. Houston has a strong defense, allowing just 109.9 points per game, while Utah struggles defensively, allowing 125.4 points. With Houston’s efficient scoring and Utah’s weak defense, picking the Rockets to cover the -12 spread seems reasonable. The projected score is Rockets 122, Jazz 110.
The total for the game is set at 233 points. Houston’s defense is strong, and Utah’s offense is not very efficient, shooting only 45.2% from the field. This suggests a lower-scoring game than expected. The under 233 is the pick, with a projected total of 232 points.
