Free Betting Pick: Houston Rockets -6.5
The Rockets were able to dominate the opening game of the series and that should continue in this game here as the Jazz are unable to contain Harden again. What else will help the Rockets out is the fact the offense can rely on Harden to pass the ball well if needed to the open man, which makes it harder for the Jazz to shut down the Rockets offense in this game. Final Score, Houston Rockets win and cover ATS 122-110.
