The scorching-hot Phoenix Suns are out to an 8-2 start on the season but just had a seven-game winning streak snapped on Sunday.
Phoenix travels to take on the Utah Jazz tonight, and my Suns vs. Jazz predictions expect PHX to start a new win streak tonight in dominant fashion.
Find out why in my NBA picks for Tuesday, November 12.
Suns vs Jazz prediction
My best bet
Suns -5.5 (-105 at bet365)
My analysis
The Utah Jazz have not only played to a 2-7 record so far this year, they've yet to win at home. Not only will that still be the case after tonight's affair with the Phoenix Suns, but Utah will fall to 1-4 against the spread at the Delta Center — all games as an underdog.
The Jazz rank 25th in 3-point percentage (31.6%). Phoenix has been just a touch below average this year at defending the three (19th), but have tightened up things in the last week (10th in the last three at 33.7%).
It isn't much prettier from elsewhere on the floor, as the Jazz rank dead last in offensive rating and face a Suns defense playing at a league-average clip (12th in defensive rating).
Utah is no longer a rebounding powerhouse, ranking 14th in rebounding rate this year after ranking third last year, meaning second-chance points can't bail this team out any longer.
The Suns will dominate this matchup and win with ease.
Suns vs Jazz same-game parlay
In the backcourts, the Suns should be able to disrupt Keyonte George in terms of his ability to generate assists. They've allowed the second-fewest assists to the position this year, and George is playing through an injury that kept him out of Utah's last game.
