Jazz vs Suns Betting Pick
This game will be played at Footprint Center at 3:30 PM ET on Sunday, February 27, 2022.
Why Bet The Suns:
✅ The Jazz have played well over the last few weeks, but the Suns have been terrific all season. Utah has won seven of its last eight contests, covering five times in the process. Before this nice run, the Jazz have suffered 11 losses in 13 outings. On the other side, the Suns have lost only two of their previous 21 games overall. Phoenix has gone 15-9 ATS over its previous 24 outings at any location.
✅ Chris Paul will miss anywhere from six to eight weeks due to a thumb injury. That’s a massive blow for the Suns, as the 12-time All-Star has averaged 14.9 points and 10.7 assists per game so far this season. Still, Phoenix possesses great depth, so look after Cameron Payne and Elfrid Payton to step up in Paul’s absence. Also, the Suns will use Devin Booker at point guard a lot. Last Friday, Booker accounted for 30 points and five assists in 37 minutes on the floor, spending most of the time at PG.

✅ The Suns have dominated the Jazz over the last few years. They are undefeated in six consecutive meetings with Utah. Furthermore, the Suns have covered the spread in six of their previous seven encounters with the Jazz, who haven’t emerged victorious in Arizona since October 2019. In their last H2H duel on January 26, 2022, the Suns beat the Jazz 105-97 as 1-point road underdogs, as Devin Booker posted a 43-point, 12-rebound double-double.
Utah Jazz
The Jazz returned to the floor following an All-Star break last Friday. They narrowly defeated the Dallas Mavericks 114-109, failing to cover a 6-point spread at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City. Utah escaped with a win thanks to its defense, as Dallas scored only a couple of points in the final three minutes of the second half.
Donovan Mitchell led the way for Utah, dropping 33 points on the Mavs, including seven triples. Rudy Gobert racked up 14 points, 17 rebounds, and three blocks, while Mike Conley added 15 points, six boards, five assists, and three steals. Utah owns the highest offensive rating in the NBA, tallying 116.4 points per 100 possessions.
Phoenix Suns
The Suns put an end to their eight-game winning streak last Friday, suffering a surprising 117-102 home loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. Both teams missed a lot of shots, and the Suns allowed a whopping 16 offensive rebounds.
Phoenix boasts the fourth-highest offensive rating in the league, scoring 114.0 points per 100 possessions. On the other side of the ball, they are third in the NBA with 106.0 points allowed per 100 possessions. The Suns lead the league in the opponent 3-point percentage (33.0%).
