Defeating Portland the last time around to wrench free of a harrowing slump in the Western Conference, Houston Rockets come into today’s clash with a pivotal win in their kitty. It was an edge of the seat encounter, a game which took over the land of the NBA given the events which unravelled in the culminating stages.
An officiating error for a goaltending call saw Utah jazz escape the tie with a win in their kitty, a calamitous mistake which left Portland Trail Blazers fuming. Damian Lillard was in particular incensed with the referee’s failure to give a foul with the player taking to Twitter to lash out at the league and the abject decision making.
However, despite their win being marred by issues, Utah Jazz will be glad that they were able to get past the finishing line in the end. Where they won, Houston Rockets ended up losing 127-91 to Phoenix Suns, a defeat which saw Utah Jazz further consolidate their fourth spot in the Western Conference.
Probable Winner
This is going to be an extremely closely contested affair, a clash where the barest of margins will determine which side accrues a crucial win. What does favour Houston Rockets is the fact that they are playing infront of their ardent supporters where they have a relatively strong 18-7 record. Also, Utah Jazz have still not been able to click together as an attacking unit, something which should see them be defeated in this one.
Probable Playing 5
Houston Rockets
James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Danuel House, P. J. Tucker, Ben McLemore
Utah Jazz

HOU Vs UTA Dream11 Point Guard
We’ll be moving in for Austin Rivers from the Rockets for this encounter. He’ll feature only as a substitute but at just 6.5 credits and assured scrimmages on the court, he makes for sublime value, a player who not only allows us to invest in elsewhere but is set to ring in a slew of points as well.
HOU Vs UTA Dream11 Shooting Guard
His side’s top score with the 35.3 points James Harden becomes the first player to be brought in by us in this ambit. He’s faltered away from home but has managed to come up with match winning displays in his home stadium to see the shooting guard become our selection from the home side.
Elsewhere, we are bringing in Utah’s leading scorer s well over here with Donovan Mitchell earning a place in our side. He’s going to be quissential to his side’s chances of pulling off a win from this one, someone who has become the side’s mainstay owing to his ability to open the zone and send down triples with ease.
HOU Vs UTA Dream11 Small Forward
Bogdan Bogdanovic will be our first pick in this slot of our Dream 11 side as we opt for both the picks from Utah Jazz over here. The player has been in tantalising form of late, someone who has seen his versatile ability come to the fore to both send down points in the paint and pull off deflections to pick up quick break points.
He’s partnered by Joe Ingles who has the 5 apg, numbers which allude to how the player has spruced his side’s attacking sojourns.
HOU Vs UTA Dream11 Power Forward
Robert Covington from Houston Rockets becomes our first selection courtesy of his role as a defensive player for the Rockets. After their harrowing showing against the Suns, he will be asked to clampdown under his side’s post and use his enigmatic quality to both come up with rebounds and steals.
From the visiting unit meanwhile we are venturing in with Georges Niang given his foregone vibrant showings on the court.
HOU Vs UTA Dream11 Centre
Tony Bradley from Utah Jazz becomes the last player to be embedded in our Dream 11 side with the centre coming in owing to his enigmatic quality, one which has seen him pull off alley-oops, screen assists, floating jump points and reverse scoops.
Star Player
Mitchell will be our star player for this one.
