The Jazz may be second in the Northwest Division, but they are 8.0 games behind current leaders the Oklahoma City Thunder. Utah are also below .500 with a 15-17 record as they are trying to hold off charges from the Portland Trail Blazers, Denver Nuggets and the Minnesota Timberwolves as the second best team in the group.
Meanwhile, the Rockets have it harder as they are fourth in the Southwest Division and are desperately trying to chase top teams such as the San Antonio Spurs, who are first, and the Dallas Mavericks and Memphis Grizzlies who are second and third, respectively.
They only have a better record than the New Orleans Pelicans at the moment as the Houston are surprisingly below .500 as well with a 16-19 record.
This is a much-needed win for the Rockets are they are slowly being erased as one of the better teams in the conference and their previous accomplishment of reaching the Western Conference Finals last year is quickly being forgotten.
Despite having a load of stars in the line-up such as James Harden, Dwight Howard and Ty Lawson, there is clearly something missing for the Rockets and they are trying to make things up as they go along.
For Utah, they lack the star power but have competed fairly well but need that big push to get them to win over the teams better on paper.
