Utah Jazz vs Phoenix Suns NBA Preview
I'm going to lay the big number with the Suns on the spread in tonight's matchup against the Jazz.
This is a spot to lay the maximum amount of points; hit all the alternate lines, lay as many points as your book will allow.
If the Jazz even find themselves in the vicinity of winning this game, they will likely run far away from the attempt at a victory. It will be hilarious.
I acknowledge that laying such a big number can be tough with the sketchy Suns — but I'll take the plunge on this second night of a back-to-back for the Jazz.
The Jazz are coming in from the altitude. Playing another game the night after playing in Denver is always tough.
Also, this will be the Jazz's third game in the last four nights — and Utah will be facing a Phoenix team that's been off for three full days. So, the Suns will have a rare rest-advantage in this game.
Plus, the Jazz recently got destroyed by the Wizards, in case you needed a reminder of how bad this team actually is.
I have been detailing all year how a weird this Phoenix team is, but Utah has just been a house of horrors.
Jazz vs Suns Betting Predictions
The Under in Suns' home games has hit at a 68% clip this season.
I'm not betting the total here, but the Under-rate does help paint the picture of why I like the Suns in this game.
I think the Suns are going to suppress the opposition here, likely keeping this game Under the number.
The Suns have covered the spread in 57% of their home games — and given Utah's motivations in tandem with the rest situation, I would lay even more points in this spot if the line was wider. I'll take Phoenix -16.5 tonight.
