GAME NOTES: This opens a two-game trip and a back-to-back set for the Jazz, who after beating Philadelphia on Wednesday play seven of their next nine on the road ... The injury-hobbled Rockets will be without usual starting center Yao Ming (foot) and shooting guard Bonzi Wells (back) ... Ex-Jazz guard Kirk Snyder of the Rockets hopes to play after a lengthy absence due to a broken bone in his hand ... The Jazz and Rockets have split their last six meetings.
