Suns at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 124, Suns 118

The Suns have not looked good in their 2 road losses so far, allowing 129 and 133 points. The Jazz are 1-0 at home and looked good in their home opener.

Markkanen will be a matchup problem for the Suns, especially if Brooks is unable to play.

BET JAZZ (+100).

The Jazz are 2-0 ATS so far this season. The Suns have not covered the spread yet this season.

But with only a 1.5-point spread, if you like the Jazz to cover, you might as well back them on the ML, since you get plus odds, and the only way they cover without winning is if they lose by 1 point.

PASS.

Two of their 4 meetings last season surpassed 233 total points. Two of the Suns’ 3 games have surpassed 233 total points. The Jazz are 1-0 O/U at home this season.

Suns opponents have scored at least 129 points in their last 2 games, so if they have a similar defensive performance against the Jazz, they need to score only about 105 points to clear the Over.

BET OVER 231.5 (-110).
