Phoenix Suns vs Utah Jazz Prediction
You can make a case for the Utah Jazz and the points at home, considering the Suns are down Durant and could be without Jusuf Nurkic as well. However, the Jazz aren’t good, and I’d need more pints to pull the trigger with them. Even without Durant, the Suns still have All-Star caliber players who can lead the way to a tournament victory. The Suns are still the better team in this spot, and the line isn’t anything crazy. Give me the Suns and the small chalk on the road.
