Utah at Phoenix

Utah won the last meeting with the Suns 116-88 covering as a 14.5-point favorite. The Jazz are laying about half as many points tonight against Phoenix, which has a 16-52 straight-up record and 31-37 ATS. If it's possible for a team with that kind of record to be in a letdown spot this would be it as the Suns snapped a streak of 18 straight losses to Golden State with an improbable 115-111 win on Sunday. The Suns shoot only 45.7 percent on the season, but they shot 48.8 percent against the Warriors after making only 43-of-103 shots the night before at Portland. Utah comes off a loss to Oklahoma City as Donovan Mitchell made only 8-of-22 and the Jazz shot 36.4 percent, which is way under its average of 46.0 percent. The Jazz has covered four of its last five road games and it is 16-4-1 ATS its last 21 games when following a loss and 15-5-1 ATS its last 21 games after an ATS loss. The favorite is 9-4-1 ATS the last 14 meetings and Utah has won nine of the last 10 meetings and will bounce back on the offensive end in tonight's matchup with the Suns, who allow opponents a .482 field goal percentage. Play the Jazz. Take Utah as my NBA Max Play Game of the Month.
