The Houston Rockets made light work of the Utah Jazz home at Toyota Center in both of the first two games of this Western Conference first-round matchup.

The Jazz are now a favorite for Game 3 home in Salt Lake City, and that's a line I strongly disagree with.

The Rockets are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games overall and are playing at an unbelievably high level at the moment. Star guard James Harden has made great use of his teammates in this series and is averaging 30.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 10 assists. "Our swag and our confidence is where it needs to be," Rockets guard James Harden said after a blowout win in Game 2. "We just need to bring that to the road. We all know how tough it is to win at Utah, but we did it last year. We're focused and we're on a level defensively to where we're engaged."

The Jazz are indeed very hard to beat home at Vivint Smart Home Arena, but they're just 1-4 ATS in their last five home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

Houston beat Utah twice on the road in the Western Conference semifinals a year ago and it is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings in Salt Lake City.

10* play on Houston Rockets.
