The Phoenix Suns play host to the Utah Jazz at the Footprint Center on Sunday night.
The Utah Jazz have been in red-hot form as they’ve won seven of their last eight games overall and they will be looking to stay hot after sneaking past the Mavericks in a 114-109 home win on Friday. Donovan Mitchell led the team with 33 points and five assists, Bojan Bogdanovic added 18 points, Mike Conley scored 15 points while Rudy Gobert chipped in with 14 points, 17 rebounds and three blocks. As a team, the Jazz shot 54 percent from the field and 16 of 38 from the 3-point line as they struggled to get going and trailed by nine points at halftime, but they clawed their way back into the contest and closed the final 5:42 on a 16-7 run to snatch the game from the Mavericks in a close one.
Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns have been in great shape as they’ve won 19 of their last 21 games, but they will be itching to get back on the court in this one after having their eight-game win streak halted by the Pelicans in a 117-102 loss on Friday. Devin Booker led the team with 30 points and five assists, DeAndre Ayton added 20 points on nine of 12 shooting while Cameron Johnson chipped in with 15 points. As a team, the Suns shot just 43 percent from the field and 12 of 40 from the 3-point line as they worked hard to claw their way back from an early 11-point deficit, only to see their hard work go down the drain in the third quarter where the Pelicans exploded for 42 points to go back up by double-digits. Landry Shamet finished with just eight points on three of nine shooting while Torrey Craig scored just two points on zero of six shooting off the bench.
Looking at the betting trends, the Jazz are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six road games, 7-20-1 ATS in their last 28 games against a team with a winning record and 5-2 ATS in their last seven games overall. The Suns are 5-1 ATS in their last six Sunday games and 5-1 ATS in their last six games against a team with a winning record.
Head to head, the Jazz are 1-6 ATS in the last seven meetings overall.
The Jazz will again be missing Rudy Gay who is dealing with a knee injury, while the Suns are still without Chris Paul and Cameron Payne while Aaron Holiday is listed as questionable. These teams have already met twice this season with the Suns winning on both occasions, so with the line at basically a coin flip, I have to go with the Suns as the Jazz are only 1-6 ATS in the last seven meetings overall.
