ROGERS' JAZZ/SUNS WINNER (ON ABC): 33-13 L46 NBA!
(NBA) Utah vs. Phoenix,
Point Spread: -1.00 | -105.00 Phoenix (Home)
Result: Loss
Big game on this afternoon’s NBA schedule with the Jazz taking on the Suns. The Suns are playing without Chris Paul and are off a loss. Paul being out hurts, but Phoenix is 19-2 over its last 21 games and has the best record in the league. They have not dropped consecutive games since December.

For those reasons, I’m siding with the Suns in this one. They are also at home on Sunday. Their home record is 26-6.

The Suns are 2-0 vs. the Jazz this season. Both wins were in January. They won 115-109 here at home and 105-97 in Salt Lake City.

Utah needed to come from behind to defeat Dallas Friday night, 114-109. The Jazz did not cover the spread in the game. They trailed by seven at halftime. That was the largest halftime deficit they’ve overcome all season.

The fact that the Suns haven’t lost back to back games in over two months weighs heavily on this selection. So too does the fact they are basically a “pick ‘em” at home. You won’t get a better value on this team all season.
