The Utah Jazz (14-16) take on the Houston Rockets (14-14) for the third time on the season. The Jazz took the first two meetings, one in Houston on October 25th (without Chris Paul) and one in Utah on December 6th, and both wins were pretty good. Donovan Mitchell had his first great game of the season in the former, scoring 38 points with 7 assists and 5 rebounds. In the latter, well, Rudy got ejected within two minutes, while Derrick Favors stepped it up with 24 points and 10 rebounds off of the bench as the Jazz blew the Rockets out (118-91).
