Phoenix at Utah

This is a big game tonight in Utah with serious potential playoff implications. The Suns can catch the Jazz with a win here tonight with just one game remaining. This one should play out with a lot of intensity, and playoffs-caliber defense, so I think the total is on the high side. The Suns have come a long way from a 12-19 team over the first half of the season to play 10 games over .500 since then, and are still an under-the-radar team that is better than their record would indicate. They have not lost back-to-back games in just about a month and has come back roaring after a loss. They won here just three weeks ago with both teams needing the game then. The Suns are now 10-1 ATS after a loss, including 6-0 ATS after a 10+ point loss. The Jazz are coughing up the dough as a -5 to -10.5 point favorite at 9-21 ATS in their last 30. The Suns also bring the "D" after a 10+ point loss, to play 24-9-1 to the UNDER in their last 34 in their next game. The UNDER is 5-2 in the last seven between these clubs and with a playoffs atmosphere expect another one. Play on Phoenix, and take the UNDER.
