The Utah Jazz will lock horns with the Houston Rockets in an exciting 2021-22 NBA matchup at the Toyota Center on Thursday. The Rockets will hope to turn things around by securing a win in this game. They currently have just a solitary win in four games, so they'll look to turn things around with a win against the Jazz on Thursday.

Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have once again proven to be an exciting team to watch in the league. They have won all their three games thus far. In their last clash against the Nuggets, the Jazz secured an impressive 122-110 win. As many as seven players from the Jazz scored at least ten points in the game to lead the team to victory.
