They’ve made a name for themselves in crashing the offensive boards and forcing turnovers defensively. Look for him to shoot a lot of threes and deploy his outstanding athleticism going at the rim. This could very well be a scheduled loss. Outlier shooting nights in their last two contests against the Tate is one of the Rockets’ primary defenders and a key part of their transition game. [Per FiveThirtyEight](https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2023-nba-predictions/games/), however, Utah is a 5 point favorite (69% probability for a win). The Utah Jazz advantage from the 3P line thus far is a fairly large asterisk on their 3-0 start:— Adam Bushman (@adam_bushman) [per Cleaning the Glass](https://cleaningtheglass.com/stats/). The Utah Jazz, on the other hand, are the 6th ranked offense in the NBA and the 14th ranked defense.

Mike Conley has turned back the clock to lead the team with nine assists per game, all while scoring 10.7 points. Green shot at a 34 percent clip from 3-point rang last year, but really came into his own down the stretch.
