Command Analysis

Utah Jazz

Current form
Once proud, but now weakened, Jazz continues its descent into the depths of the standings. In the last 14 matches, they have managed to score only one victory, and that came against the same outsider, Washington (128:112). And so, on March 26, on their floor, almost the second team, Utah lost to Memphis without a chance — 103:140.
But even the darkest nights have their own dim stars. In this defeat, Isaiah Collier scored 21 points, adding three rebounds and four assists. Collin Sexton tried to take the initiative, but stopped at 15 points. Kyle Filipowski and Johnny Giusang scored 13 points each, but it was clearly not enough to keep the Jazz from falling again.
Will Hardy's team has already lost all hope of a play-in. With 16 wins and 57 losses, they have firmly established themselves on the last, 15th line of the Western Conference, like a ship firmly anchored on the reefs.
Disqualifications and injuries
Utah is going through a real nightmare — injuries have literally decimated the squad. Key players are out of action: Jordan Clarkson, Lauri Markkanen, John Collins and Taylor Hendricks. This is not just a personnel loss, but a full-fledged sports apocalypse.
Interesting facts for betting
In the last ten face-to-face meetings, Utah and Houston scored an average of 231 points.
The Jazz lost to the Rockets three times in a row.
Utah's provisional squad: Isaiah Collier, Colleen Sexton, Cody Williams, Keyonte George, Walker Kessler.

Houston Rockets

Current form
Houston flies up like a rocket, justifying its name. They have won ten of the last 11 matches, losing only in a tense battle with Denver for the second place in the Western Conference (111:116).
In the previous game on March 26, the Rockets defeated Atlanta on home court — 121:114. Jaylen Green was unstoppable, scoring a double-double: 32 points, 11 rebounds and four assists. Fred Vanvleet supported him with 21 points, and Alperen Shengyun added 18. Jabari Smith scored 17, and Tari Eason scored another double-double (ten points, 15 rebounds).
Aime Udoka's team is currently in second place in the West (47 wins, 26 losses), and it doesn't seem like it's going to slow down.
Disqualifications and injuries
The Rockets arrived in Salt Lake City in almost combat strength. Only the participation of Amen Thompson and Steven Adams remains in question, but this is a drop in the bucket compared to the problems of their rivals.
Interesting facts for betting
Houston ranks 24th in the league in three-point shooting percentage (34.7%), Utah is 21st (35.4%).
Houston's provisional squad: Fred Vanvleet, Jaylen Green, Amen Thompson, Dillon Brooks, Alperen Shengyun.

1.88Tip and bets
On paper, everything is very clear: the bookmakers consider Houston the obvious favorite. Under current conditions, Utah, even with a full squad, would look like an outsider, and in a weakened state, it has almost no chance. The Rockets are going in one go, showing the best basketball in recent years. After a series of failures, the team is finally competing for the playoffs, and beating a weakened opponent is a matter of honor.
Our prediction is that Houston will win by a handicap of (-11.5) points, including overtime in 1.76
Betting on an individual total
The Rockets have been showing excellent performance this season, averaging 120 points per game. In the games against Utah, their score is slightly lower — 113, but this time the Texans have every chance to improve their statistics.
Our betting tip is that Houston's individual total is more than 122.5 points, including overtime in 2.08
The bet on the player
Jaylen Greene has consistently scored 21.5 points per game this season. In the last four matches, he broke the 30-point mark three times, and this match promises to be another show of his performance.
Our betting tip is that Green's total score is more than 22.5, taking into account overtime in 1.87
