Here's a look at how to watch the Jazz vs Rockets live stream, team news and our prediction for the game. 

Jazz vs Rockets prediction and preview 

The Utah Jazz have been the team to beat in the NBA this season and they find themselves at the top of the Western Conference standings thanks to their consistency. The Jazz have lost only nine of their 36 games so far this season, but four of those came in the last 10 games, including two back to back defeats before the All-Star Break. Utah have been almost unstoppable at home, winning 15 of their 17 games, and will look to continue their dominance when they welcome the Rockets on Friday night. The Jazz have a decent enough lead over second-placed Phoenix Suns and will look to seal the top seed in the West, and a win will be a good way to start for Quin Snyder's side. 

The Houston Rockets are meanwhile in transition, which has been further affected by the magnitude of injuries on their roster. The Rockets have lost the last 13 games on the bounce, currently, the worst run in the league, and rightfully find themselves at second from bottom in the West Conference standings. The Rockets are touted to continue their slump and will need something dramatic to arrest their slide. The Jazz are overwhelming favourites and likely to add another win at home, while the Rockets are expected to have another day to forget on the court.
