Houston are in the midst of an 8-game losing streak and reports suggest they are planning to waive DeMarcus Cousins. On Monday, the Rockets were outscored by 20 points in the 3rd quarter of a 120-100 home loss against the Bulls.

The Spurs have not played since the 15th due to COVID, but had won their last 2 and 5 of the last 6 before their stoppage.

Utah couldn’t have more swagger at the moment, after winning 9 of their last 10 and are coming off a 132-110 win over Charlotte to be to 25-6 on the season and #1 in the West.

The Lakers have lost 3-straight home games losing to the Nets, Heat, and capped off with a 127-124 loss to the Wizards.

Just gotta go Jazz. They’ve lined out pockets all season, but -8.0 is steep from the bookies.

With Anthony Davis and Dennis Schroder out, and Lebron listed as questionable we just can’t put too much stock into the Lakers.

MATCH FACT – Utah have won their last 14 home games.

PICK – UTAH -8.0
