Premium Pick

The Phoenix Suns haven't lost consecutive games in nearly 2 months, but there's a great chance it happens tonight as they go on the road to Utah. The Jazz have lost 4 of 5 and are due for a breakout game. Utah's physical players will give Phoenix problems. Boozer and Okur will both have success and rookie Deron Williams will eat Phoenix alive as he is a big, physical guard. Jerry Sloan teams are great at dictating tempo, which is what Phoenix does better than anyone in the league but need to run to win and  the Jazz defense won't let Phoenix's offense run as smoothly as they like here. I see this one going down to the wire with Utah having a decent chance to win outright. Two stars on the Jazz.

2 units on Utah +5.5 (-110) (risk 2 to return 3.82)
