Phoenix Suns at Utah Jazz odds, picks and predictions
The Phoenix Suns (6-6) and Utah Jazz (4-8) square off Sunday with tip-off from Delta Center set for 8 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the Suns vs. Jazz odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.
Season series: Suns lead 2-0
The Suns took the first 2 meetings with the Jazz 126-104 as they covered a -5.5, but Utah covered a +5.5 in the 131-128 Suns victory in the 2nd game Friday. Phoenix has won 2 in a row, and they are merely treading water right now through injuries. G Devin Booker, F Kevin Durant and G Bradley Beal have yet to play a game together. The latter will be out Sunday.
G Jordan Clarkson did everything he could to keep Utah in the game Friday as he dropped 37 points. He has gone for 37, 30, 26 and 33 in the last 4 games. The Jazz are 3-3 on the road this season.

Suns at Jazz picks and predictions
Prediction
Suns 128, Jazz 114
Moneyline
The Suns won in Utah 131-128 two days ago and have won 4 straight meetings — 2 in each venue. The Jazz will need to keep them under 120 to have a chance, and I don't like that proposition. I also don't like betting twice your return on Phoenix.
Instead, take JORDAN CLARKSON OVER 23.5 POINTS (-105).
Against the spread
It's a small spread here, but the Suns have hit it in 2 of the last 3 meetings. The Suns are 3-2-1 ATS on the road and 5-6-1 overall. The Jazz are 29th in defensive rating, and the Suns' 39.2 three-point percentage leads the NBA.
Take the SUNS -5.5 (-105).
Over/Under
The Suns are 8-4 O/U, and the Jazz are 9-3. This total dropped 2 points Sunday morning and has become a lot more manageable. Both meetings this season have gone Over, and I look for it to cash again.
Take the OVER 239.5 (-105).
