Utah Jazz Betting Preview
The Utah Jazz have been in a slump as they’ve lost eight of their last nine games overall and they will be hoping to snap a four-game slide after falling short to the Nuggets in a 135-129 road defeat last night. Kyle Filipowski led the team with 25 points, eight rebounds and five assists on 11 of 17 shooting, Cody Williams added 24 points with seven assists on nine of 14 shooting while John Konchar and Kennedy Carter each scored 16 points. As a team, the Jazz shot 56 percent from the field and nine of 33 from the 3-point line as they caught fire and exploded for 43 points in the third quarter to turn an early 12-point deficit into a 12-point lead, but with the scores tied late in the fourth quarter, it was the Nuggets who closed the game on a 9-3 run to slip away in the end.
Phoenix Suns Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns have been in a slump as they’ve lost six of their last seven games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back here after falling painfully short to the Nuggets in a 125-123 loss on Tuesday. Devin Booker led the team with 22 points and eight assists, Jalen Green and Grayson Allen each scored 21 points while Royce O’Neale chipped in with 17 points and three blocks. As a team, the Suns shot 44 percent from the field and 17 of 47 from the 3-point line as they fought hard with the Nuggets to rally back from an eight-point fourth quarter deficit, only to get stung by Nikola Jokic who drained the game winning floater with just 11.8 seconds left on the clock.
Utah v Phoenix Free Prediction
The Jazz are still severely depleted with Jusuf Nurkic, Lauri Markkanen, Jaren Jackson Jr and Keyonte George all out, while the Suns have ruled out Amir Coffey, Haywood Highsmith, Dillon Brooks and Ryan Dunn. You couldn’t back either side with any confidence right now, but the Jazz are playing their second game of a back to back set, while the Suns should be well-rested as they haven’t played since their tough loss to the Nuggets on Tuesday. The Suns are long overdue for a blowout win and I think they get some relief with a comfortable win and cover here.
