Key Storylines
- Injuries: Suns guard Jalen Green is sidelined due to a hamstring injury. His absence may impact Phoenix's scoring depth. Dillon Brooks is also questionable coming into this game for the Suns and that could have a devastating impact on Phoenix defensively. Utah is without Isaiah Collier and Georges Niang for this matchup.
- Recent Performances: The Suns are coming off a 133–111 loss to the Denver Nuggets. That was their second straight loss on the road in which they allowed over 125 points. The Jazz lost 105–104 to the Sacramento Kings in their last game, dropping to 1-1 on the season.
- Home Court Advantage: The Jazz won their first home game of the season by a convincing margin against the LA Clippers. They will try to improve to 2-0 on their home floor against a Suns team that is winless on the road so far this year.

Final Thoughts
I am expecting a close game between these teams from Utah tonight. But the upper hand should belong to the Utah Jazz when all is said and done. The roster around Devin Booker in Phoenix right now is simply terrible and that should continue to be the case here, as the Suns' lackluster defense should cost them a third straight road game. Expect Utah to cover the number as a slight favorite on their home floor.
