A victim of the worst record in franchise history, the grind never stops for the Utah Jazz (16-60). They travel to the Lone Star State for a matchup against the Houston Rockets (49-27). A mere six games remain in the season for the Jazz to try and finish with a guaranteed top-5 pick in the NBA Draft. Lauri Markkanen and John Collins remain out for this trivial matchup, where, at this point, shutting them down makes the most sense.
Don’t be surprised by some pretty ugly basketball tonight — Utah has a total of 11 players listed on their injury report compared to Houston’s zero, apart from a few G League assignments.
