No. 2 in the Western Conference, start a three-game road trip with a game against the last-place Utah Jazz (16-57) on Thursday at Delta Center. After losing at home to the Denver Nuggets on Sunday, the Rockets got back on track with a win against the Hawks on Tuesday and are two games up on the Nuggets for the No.

Kyle Filipowski continues to make some serious noise. His 16 points with 7 rebounds and 4 assists is an impressive line against a good Rockets defense. Utah found a gem in Filipowski and he just keeps on showing great promise.

Even with Amen Thompson and Steven Adams questionable, the Rockets are massive favorites in Thursday’s road matchup at lowly Utah (+12.5).
