Adams is going to miss games, and it appears as though they desperately need him on the court.
In many ways, the Houston Rockets' 133-125 loss to the Utah Jazz in the second game of their first back-to-back of the season was predictable, especially given the margin by which the Rockets won the first game. Things never come that easily in the NBA.
Yet, with Adams missing his third game of the season, Houston was out-rebounded and out-manned throughout essentially the entirety of the matchup: a concerning sign given the fact that Adams will almost certainly need to continue to rest this season in order to maintain his health for the playoffs.
