The Houston Rockets<\/a>‘ uneven play in recent weeks has produced mixed results, but they have a great chance to regain their rhythm against one of the NBA’s bottom-feeders on Monday.<\/p>\n

Houston is taking on an Utah Jazz<\/a> team that doesn’t even have 20 wins on the season just yet. Factor in that several of Utah’s top players are nursing injuries at the moment as well, and the Rockets are primed for a win.<\/p>\n

Records, standing, and streaks\"Feb<\/p>\n

At present, the Rockets have a 34-21 record, which puts them in the Western Conference standings’ fourth-place slot.<\/p>\n

The Jazz are the owners of a 18-39 record and two-game losing streak, good enough for 13th in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n
