Phoenix Suns Betting Preview
The Phoenix Suns have been doing it tough so far as they’ve lost two of their first three games and they will be hoping to bounce back after getting trounced by the Nuggets in a 133-111 road defeat on Saturday night. Devin Booker led the team with 31 points and seven assists on 10 of 16 shooting. Grayson Allen added 17 points with five assists on six of 12 shooting while Dillon Brooks chipped in with 15 points, but no other player finished in double figures in scoring.
As a team, the Suns shot just 43 percent from the field and 17 of 50 from the 3-point line, but their biggest problems were on the defensive end. They were always fighting an uphill battle after allowing 71 points in the first half alone. The Suns’ lack of depth on their bench was really exposed in this contest with no bench player scoring more than seven points.
Utah Jazz Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have split their first two games of the season and they will be looking for a better result after coming up painfully short to the Kings in a 105-104 road defeat on Friday night. Lauri Markkanen led the team with 33 points on 12 of 23 shooting, Keyonte George added 18 points with 19 assists on five of 15 shooting while Brice Sensabaugh chipped in with 15 points in 22 minutes off the bench.
As a team, the Jazz shot 44 percent from the field and 13 of 41 from the 3-point line as they battled with the Kings in a close contest that remained with eight points the entire way. Until the Kings went on a pivotal 11-4 run in the fourth quarter to slip away at the end. The Jazz dominated the battle of the boards by 50-33, but they were sloppy with the ball and finished with 20 turnovers in a game that they still could’ve won on the final possession.

Jazz vs Suns Prediction
The Suns will again be missing Jalen Green, and they are keeping an eye on Dillon Brooks, who is questionable for this one, while the Jazz will again be without Isaiah Collier and Georges Niang. The Suns are still searching for their first win of the season, but their roster is just so thin that they have to completely rely on Booker for points, and it just hasn’t worked out so far.
In contrast, the Jazz have had different players step up for them so far, and they were rather unlucky to not get the win over the Kings in their last outing. The Suns open as slight favorites here, but the Jazz are at home, where they recently smashed the Clippers. They have the advantage of extra rest and quite frankly, they are just the better team at the moment, so I will gladly take them as the underdogs in this spot.
