The matchup vs. Utah is a positive one; when the Utah Jazz are at home, they have allowed the most points per game in the league to opposing starting PFs this year (24.0).The Rockets are expected to see a rise in opportunities today from squaring off against the 2nd-most up-tempo pace-of-play home team in the NBA over the last 10 games (the Utah Jazz).The Houston Rockets rank as the best offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore create added chances for scoring and assists).This year when they are away from home, the opposition's starting PFs have attempted 5.6 foul shots per game (highest in the league) against the Jazz, easily managing to get to the free-throw line.
