The Utah Jazz look to improve to 4-0 tonight against the (very) young Rockets in Houston.
It’s still too early in the season to glean any meaningful trends. But we don’t need to dive deep into any metrics to know that Houston isn’t very good. The Rockets are currently ranked 22nd in offensive efficiency and 18th in defensive efficiency. A win over the 21-22 Oklahoma City Generals likely makes those rankings look rosier than they will a month from now.
On offense, Houston lacks any meaningful playmakers. Eric Gordon is the veteran of the bunch, and looks old.
