The Jazz are coming into this game with a 30-18 record overall and they are 15-9 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 4 of their last 5 games and they are coming into this one on a 2 game losing streak after another loss in their last game.

The Jazz have an ATS record of 21-26-1 this season and their O/U record is 24-23-1.

 

 

The Suns have been playing very well recently but really they have been great all season and they are currently the best team in the NBA. They are the only NBA team with less than 10 losses this season still and they have been staying healthy in most of their games this season. The Jazz have not been staying healthy though and they are going to be missing Donovan Mitchell in this game along with the possibility of some other starters sitting out as well. The Jazz are coming off of a loss to the Suns in their last game but there is a chance that they will be missing even more players in this game. The Jazz will not be able to handle the Suns while not at full strength here and the Suns are one team that is rolling too hot to jump in front of. The best bet to place in this game is on the Suns to cover the spread here.

"We had a good start to the game and then we got a little comfortable. Those guys were ready to play. They took advantage of their opportunity, came out aggressive and confident. Once they got confidence, they were a little tougher to stop." - Devin Booker after their win against the Jazz on Monday.

 

 

"Collectively, we played hard. That's a credit to our guys because the team we played plays hard. That's why it was such a competitive game. I think what Chris (Paul) did in the fourth quarter, he's unique, obviously." - Quin Snyder on his team’s loss against the Suns on Monday.
