The Toyota Center will be the site of tonight’s Western Conference clash between the host Houston Rockets and the visiting Utah Jazz. Utah is coming off a home win last night versus Minnesota 112 to 107 while the Rockets last played on Monday where they defeated the Denver Nuggets 115 to 113 at the Toyota Center.
These two teams last met in Houston on December 27 with the Rockets winning in overtime 120 to 115 but failing to cover as a nine-point home favorite. In that game the Jazz were without their top three scorers and rebounders in Okur, Boozer and Millsap and still forced the Rockets into double overtime before finally falling. This trip the Jazz will still be without Boozer but they should be more than ready to avenge their last trip to Houston.
Houston has won eleven of their last thirteen games at home this season but they have failed to cover at a rate of 6-7 ATS including a 2-6 ATS record in their last overall. The Rockets also have a same-season revenge game against the Pacers on deck. The Pacers came into the Toyota Center back on November 26 and defeated this Rockets team 91 to 90 as an eight-point underdog. This is important in that the Rockets are a horrible 14-33-2 ATS in this situation. We also note that they are 7-23 ATS if they are facing a Western Conference opponent prior to their same season revenge contest. The Rockets are 7-11 ATS laying chalk at the Toyota Center their last 18 overall.
This series has been tightly contested with the Jazz knocking the Rockets out of the Playoffs in both of the last two seasons. The home team has held serve winning the last four straight up although the visitor and the underdog have both covered in eight of the last eleven in this series. With the Jazz covering their last meeting here on December 27 they have now covered in eleven of the last fifteen in this series overall.
Utah has proven over the last two seasons that they are the team to back when they are facing an opponent with a winning record as they are 41-22 ATS in this role the last two years and 22-9 ATS when facing a winning team during the second half of the season. The Jazz have also found ATS success when facing teams from the Southwest Division posting a record of 20-7 ATS their last 27.
On the other side of that equation we see that the Rockets are 0-5 ATS when facing opponents from the Western Conference and 3-7 ATS versus teams from the Northwest Division. Houston is also a perfect 0-5 ATS when playing with one day of rest this season. The Rockets are 13-28 ATS in home games after a home game where both teams score 100 or more points since 1996. Houston coming off two straight up wins and now installed as a home favorite versus a conference opponent have gone 59-91-2 ATS. If the Rockets are coming in off an ATS win at home and now installed as a conference home favorite they are 36-59-2 ATS and if they happened to go ‘over’ in that game they are 12-29-1 ATS.
With strong fundamental, technical and situational support we will make the Utah Jazz our 5* Western Conference Game of the Month.
PROJECTED FINAL SCORE: (5*) Utah Jazz 99 Houston Rockets 98

The Daniel-Meyer Coliseum will be the site of tonight’s Mountain West Conference clash between the host TCU Horned Frogs and the visiting Wyoming Cowboys. Wyoming is coming in off a road loss to UNLV on Saturday 83 to 66 as a 13.5 point road underdog. The Frogs are off a road win at Air Force on Saturday 57 to 54 covering as a 2 point road favorite.
Wyoming is 12-5 SU and 5-4 against the spread this season. With the start of conference play the wins have not been as easy to come by for this Cowboys team. They are 1-2 both SU and ATS in conference play averaging 72.0 points per game while allowing 84.3 points per game to teams that only average 67.0 points per game. No real surprise they are struggling with conference teams allowing so many points to be scored against them and that road remains tough as they face this TCU team tonight.
TCU is 12-6 SU and 10-4 against the spread this season. The Horned Frogs are 8-1 SU and 4-1 ATS at home so far this year. In conference play TCU has posted a record of 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS averaging 69.7 points per game on 49.8 percent from the field. When playing at home this season TCU has only allowed 54.0 points per game to teams that average 67.2 points per game. They have also been solid defending the trey with a defensive shooting percentage of 27.7 percent from three-point land.
This series has been dominated by the Horned Frogs of late when playing at home. They are 3-1 SU and ATS when facing Wyoming on their home floor since 1997. Over the last three seasons the two games that have been played at TCU have been won both SU and ATS by the Horned Frogs.
Our Team Performance Ratings Index signals a play on the Horned Frogs tonight with a 10.9 point advantage over the Wyoming Cowboys. With solid fundamental and technical support we will lay the chalk with the host here as TCU gets the win and cover over an overmatched Wyoming team.
PROJECTED FINAL SCORE: (4*) TCU Horned Frogs 79 Wyoming Cowboys 62
