The latest Jazz vs Suns Prediction and NBA Odds also favor a win for the host, Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz have a tough challenge ahead to secure their 6th straight home win when they host the Phoenix Suns at the Vivint Smart Home Arena for the next fixture tonight. The Jazz have been very strong at their home and it will be interesting to see if they are able to continue the winning streak against the mighty Suns or not.
The team’s head coach Quin Snyder seemed very impressed with his side’s tactics after the thumping victory over the Thunder in the last game. Synder said:
“When the ball is moving and defenses shift, you have an opportunity to attack the closeouts. Those quick decisions get you on the rim. That’s what I saw as far as us moving the defense.”
The Phoenix Suns have been just phenomenal this season. With 63 wins, they have already created the record of the most number of wins by any team in a single season. They tested the bench strength in the last game by giving rest to the key players, Devin Booker and Chris Paul.
Although the experiment resulted in a loss, it’s not something to worry about for the Suns. The full squad needs to be in form before the important playoffs. The Suns’ head coach Monty Williams reflected on his team’s performance after the close loss to the Clippers. He said:
“It’s a great lesson for our team and any kid watching, you just play it out. We just stayed with it and had that Suns’ grit.”
The Jazz has quite a few injury concerns before the next clash. The status of Trent Forest, Royce O’Neale, and Mike Conley is questionable. Donovan Mithell is expected to make a comeback who was rested in the last fixture. The Suns have no major injury worries before the next matchup.
