Houston Rockets

The Houston Rockets are beginning a three-game road trip tonight as they take on the Utah Jazz at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City.

The Rockets are in second place in the Western Conference as they look to hold on for the best playoff seeding possible.

Meanwhile, the Jazz are going in a different direction as they have struggled to find ways to win this season. Utah has come out on top for just one game this month, and that came against the Washington Wizards, who have been the worst team in the NBA all season long.

Here's a look at everything you need to know ahead of tonight's Rockets vs. Jazz game.
