The Suns are coming off a win against Chicago on Saturday, but they had to come back from a 17-point deficit. The fact that the game was even close was disappointing, given the Bulls’ bevy of injuries. Now Phoenix has to take on a healthy Utah team that is looking to bounce back from consecutive losses at home. The Jazz generally have been one of the best home teams all season, so look for them to rebound with a win against a vastly inferior foe and cover along the way.

Utah has won eight straight meetings and my model projects a double-digit home win Monday night. After two straight home losses out of the All-Star Break, to San Antonio and Houston, the Jazz certainly will be focused. They aren't likely to shoot 7 of 31 from 3-point range like they did versus the Rockets. Lay the points.
