Utah Jazz vs Houston Rockets Final Score & Over/Under Result — Apr 3, 2026

Houston's third quarter proved decisive, as the Rockets and Jazz combined for 66 points—the game's most explosive quarter—to build a lead that Utah could not overcome. The home side scored 38 in the period and never looked back, ultimately dismantling the Jazz 140–106. The combined total of 246 sailed well past the market line of 231.5, landing an emphatic 14.5 points over.

The game's rhythm tilted heavily toward Houston from the outset. Combined scoring ran steady through the first two frames—56 points in Q1, then 63 in Q2—keeping the total on pace with the pregame projection. But Q3 unleashed an offensive surge that proved too much for Utah's defense. Kevin Durant paced Houston with 25 points and 6 assists, while Amen Thompson added 21 points and 8 rebounds. On the Utah side, Cody Williams led all scorers with 27 points and 11 rebounds, a bright spot in a lopsided affair. Ace Bailey chipped in 22 points for the Jazz.

The fourth quarter, combining for 61 points, was merely cleanup. Utah, which has surrendered 128.2 points per game over its last ten contests, found no answer to Houston's offensive rhythm. DAGGER's pregame lean to the under misfired as the pace and efficiency in Houston's home building—where the Rockets have averaged 116.3 points scored over recent games—overwhelmed the projection by the halftime turn.
