This is a generational bet as we close out 2020. In my eyes, this is about as easy as it gets. The Suns are coming off a win on national TV while the Jazz played a tight game at Oklahoma City last time out. I’d lay 10 points in this spot. Utah is balanced and deep, and Jordan Clarkson is a walking bucket. Play the Jazz. The more you bet, the more you win!
Full disclosure: I have bets on the Jazz to win the Western Conference at both 16-1 and 35-1, so I’m obviously high on this squad. Mike Conley and Donovan Mitchell finally have figured out how to play together, and Rudy Gobert is a beast defensively. Look out Suns! Take Utah.
This total is rising for good reason. The last time they met, Utah and Phoenix combined for 242 points. Both teams are above average in pace. Look for the Over to improve to 12-5 in Utah's last 17 games dating to last season.
The Jazz handled the Suns twice in the preseason, but I like Phoenix in this spot after Chris Paul and Devin Booker barely were needed in a rout of the Pelicans on Tuesday. This is a deep and versatile Suns squad that continues to get undervalued. Phoenix has covered 11 of its last 12 versus winning teams, while Utah is 3-10-1 ATS in its last 14 home games. Grab the points but don't be surprised by an outright upset.
