This Utah Jazz team has an ideal opportunity to spark a new winning streak.
At 8 p.m. MT Friday, the Utah Jazz (27-9) will finally return to the court while still boasting the league’s best record following nine days off due to the All-Star break. They’ll be hosting the severely struggling Houston Rockets (11-24), who are now in the midst of a 14-game losing skid after falling at the Sacramento Kings (15-22) on Thursday night, 125-105.
Obviously, the team in Salt Lake City should now enjoy fresher legs as it tries to begin the second half of its 72-game regular season on a better note than its tail end to the first half.
