Utah Jazz vs Phoenix Suns Prediction

I don’t want to back the Utah Jazz as much as the next guy but I certainly don’t want to lay chalk with the Suns. The Suns continue to underachieve, and they’ve lost four of their last five games. There’s also a chance the Suns could be without Beal and Durant, two of their top three players. The Suns are 17-32-1 ATS on the season which is the worst cover team in the NBA. Also, the Suns openly shopped Beal and Durant through the trade deadline and the fact both are still on the roster can make things weird. I’m sure the locker room isn’t in the best shape knowing the front office tried to flip guys. It wouldn’t be shocking to see the Suns continue to slide in the standings. I’ll grab the points with the Jazz on the road.
