I wish this game was happening next month when Clint Capela will (hopefully) be healthy.
Utah currently holds a 2-1 advantage in the season series with Houston and is likely to win tonight and wrap it up 3-1. With Utah having one of the easiest closing schedules, that tiebreaker could come into play. Houston has already dropped their season series with the Blazers and haven’t won any of their own yet.
What’s more, the Rockets will drop below Utah in the standings tonight with a loss, placing them in seventh and just two games ahead of the Lakers in the ninth spot.
