Game Preview
The Houston Rockets head out on the road to face the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night. The Jazz will be excited to seek revenge for the Rockets’ previous 114-108 win on Monday night.
Houston finished with the worst record in the NBA last season. In this draft they selected Jabari Smith, Tari Eason and TyTy Washington. Smith is the first Rocket since Hakeem Olajuwon to score at least four points in each of the first four games of his Houston career. Green leads the team with 24 points per game, followed by Kevin Porter Jr. with 20 and Alpren Sengun with 15.
Houston did not have a very good start to the season (0-3), losing to Atlanta, Memphis and Milwaukee. The Rockets got their first win against Utah and will now look to beat the Jazz. Their offensive line went 20-of-20 from the free-throw line on Monday. Kevin Porter Jr. contributed 26 points and 10 rebounds, Green 25 points and Smith 21. Unfortunately we will not be able to see Sengun this Wednesday as he is still out with an illness.
The Jazz made the playoffs for the sixth consecutive year last season. They lost to the Dallas Mavericks in six games in the first round of the playoffs, giving them the sixth straight year without advancing out of the first or second round. This Monday Utah lost its first game in a 114-108 back-to-back at Houston.
The Rockets had the halftime advantage on Monday, after Utah had to travel. Although Houston won, Utah shot much better from the three-point line, had more points off turnovers and assists. Houston dominated free throw shooting. The Rockets shot 27 of 32 free throws in the home win, while Utah shot just 9 of 16. Expect better play from Mike Conlye and Larui Markkanen who together, managed to shoot 0 of 9 from three-point range and 1 of 6 from the charity stripe.
