| Utah | Over | Utah |
| +11.0 | 204.5 | 116-108 |
The Jazz limped into Game 1 after a tough 1st Round Series against the T-Wolves and with a couple of day’s break, they should be able to find an extra gear tonight.
With a little more energy to play with the Jazz could stick in this one for a while, however we’d expect the Rockets to assert their dominance and win comfortably, but not too comfortably.
Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Houston.
Best Bet = Over 204.5
