Perhaps the biggest regular-season game left on the NBA schedule. Phoenix would tie Utah for the best record in the NBA -- Suns already have clinched the season series up 2-0 -- and potential home-court advantage throughout the playoffs. At full strength, the Jazz obviously are good enough to win this game, but not without Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley. Plus, Jazz swingman Royce O’Neale is questionable and the Suns are likely to get back Dario Saric from injury.
The Jazz will remain shorthanded for this game with Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and Mike Conley Jr. (hamstring) out. Yes, both players were also out Wednesday for their 49-point drubbing of the Kings. However, the Kings were missing both De’Aaron Fox and Harrison Barnes. Facing a much tougher Suns team that is 21-12 ATS at home is another matter. Also, the Suns are 17-4 ATS versus teams that have won more than 55 percent of their games. Give me the Suns to cover here.
