Placed adjacent to each other in the Western conference, when Utah Jazz and Houston Rockets square off against each other today, we are going to be in for an edge of the seat thriller. These fourth and fifth placed sides are stalwarts of the league, two sides more than capable of emerging with the glistening trophy under their arms this season.
For Utah, today’s clash will be one where the side will be looking to spare no expense in a bid to pull off a win. The side’s winning spree was curtailed the last time around with them stunned 113-104 by San Antonio Spurs who wiped away a first quarter deficit to runaway with the encounter despite a late surge from Utah in the fourth quarter.

And with the side 20-6 in their home stadium, the Rockets know they have a real task on their hands come today’s clash. They are coming into this tie off an emphatic 135-105 win over GSW the last time around to rake up their second straight win but Utah’s ability to pull off turnovers at crucial junctures and win the battle of the boards will perturb the Rocket today.
UTA Vs HOU Probable Winner
This is going to be an extremely closely contested affair, one we see Utah pulling off a win in owing to their ability to instil in place rebounds and deflections at the right time.

UTA Vs HOU Dream11 Point Guard
The most heavily indulged in component of our Dream 11 outfit begins with us opting for the services of Russell Westbrook for this encounter. He is going to be pivotal to the side coming out of this with a win on the day courtesy of his ability to transition the ball from defence to attack and come up with quick break points for his outfit.
Austin Rivers is snared as well from the outfit while from Utah Jazz we are venturing in with Emmanuel Mudiay for the day’s clash. He played just 18 minutes the last time around but showed his skill set in that limited outing with the 18 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and the one steal and block and steal apiece.
UTA Vs HOU Dream11 Shooting Guard
With Utah struggling to stop points from the deep in the previous encounter, James Harden looks set to emerge as one of the highest scorers today. He has pulled off 35.3 ppg along with the 7.4 apg, numbers which tell the story of how quissential he’s been for the outfit in their attacking plays.
UTA Vs HOU Dream11 Small Forward
We continue peeling off player from the Rocket with Daniel House being brought in by us. The player can not only open the zone for himself to send down triples but has the ability to maraud his way into paints as well to pull off reverse scoops and spin and slams.
UTA Vs HOU Dream11 Power Forward
Playing his first game for the Rockets after being brought in from Utah, Jeff Green showed why he was snagged by the Rockets. His scrimmages on the court left the side impressed and with him returning to his previous club today, his knowhow of how they function will serve the Rockets judiciously on the day.
UTA Vs HOU Dream11 Centre
With the 14.6 rpg, Rudy Gobert becomes an instant selection for us today. He dropped his 43rd double-double of the season the last time around, a display which emoted towards his enterprising native as a player, one which has seen him pull off both points in the paint along with screen assists and deflections.
Tony Bradley comes in as well from the side to wrap up our Dream 11 side for the day.
Star Player
With Utah suffering to block field points the last time around, Harden will be our star player for the encounter.
