Houston Rockets vs Utah Jazz Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/01/25

The Rockets and Jazz run it back, just 24 hours after their early tip-off clash on Sunday. Houston came out on top fairly easily 129-101, winning their 5th game in a row on the road and 3rd overall. Sengun and Durant were too much to handle for the young and inexperienced Jazz, Houston also won the rebounding battle 50-33 which made a massive difference. So can they repeat that same performance on Monday night? They’re once again double-digit favorites, only once in 10 road games this season they failed to cover the spread.

Utah has shown glimpses of great offense in certain home games this season, but for the most part they look like a 6-13 team, which is their record coming into Monday’s game. Adjustments will be made on their end, but it’s hard to expect any drastic changes considering they simply aren’t built to handle a player like Steven Adams down low. Houston is really taking advantage of the height at their disposal, they lead the league in rebounding percentage at 55.5%. Even Lauri Markkanen had a game to forget yesterday, scoring just 18 points and grabbing 8 rebounds total.

I don’t think we should overthink this one. Even with a poor performance from Amen Thompson the Rockets dominated this match-up 24 hours ago. It would take a massive collapse for them to lose this game. Back Houston.
