Lauri Markkanen leads the Utah Jazz on the road against the Houston Rockets today.
The Houston Rockets (34-35) are the hottest team in the Western Conference winning seven straight games heading into today. They are just two games out of the Play-In Tournament, putting pressure on both the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers for the ninth and 10th seeds. They take on the Utah Jazz (29-41) who are moving in the other direction, losing four straight games and on the brink of elimination from the playoffs this season. Houston’s play as of late has come despite an injury to star Alperen Sengun and behind the best play of Jalen Green’s career.
