Can the Suns continue their dominant stretch at home?
SI Sportsbook as Phoenix as 6.5-point favorites tonight. Here's some other bets and trends to consider before action gets underway:
Dan Dobish, Covers.com
"The Suns have been moving up the charts on offense, going for 114.7 ppg (No. 11 in the NBA), while hitting 3-pointers at an impressive 37.7% clip (No. 6). Their defense has been predictably stout, holding the opposition to just 107.4 ppg to rank No. 5 overall.
"The Jazz have surprised with 117.4 ppg (No. 3), but the defense leaves something to be desired. Utah has allowed 115.7 ppg (No. 23), while struggling with a 47.9 defensive field-goal percentage (No. 24).
"Utah has cashed the Over in five consecutive games, while going 8-2 in its past 10. A surprisingly high-octane offense and a lack of defense have led to plenty of Over results — which is the way to go again here.
"While, yes, Phoenix has cashed the Under in three in a row, the Over easily cashed with 267 combined points in the first meeting in SLC.
"My best bet: Over 229.5"
