Monday Night NBA - Extra

Utah Jazz v Pheonix Suns



26th January 02:05 GMT

I looks like Suns are out of shape and it might be true. Three wins and only two ATS wins in the last 9 games. Still, I do feel that hitting the road should be good for the Suns. They had some rough beats on the road in their last trip, but they are much more focused on the road, especially playing the good teams.

Utah are in good shape on the other hand, winning six of their last 7 games and covering the last 9 or at least getting a push (depends on the line you took). Still, the two teams had a lot of really close games in recent years. In fact, 7 of their last 10 games ended in single digits margin. Without Barbosa, much will be, as always on Nash. However he is the type of player that usually delivers, especially coming off a rest (Suns one of the teams with the worst record in games with no rest). I think that Suns can even surprise today, if they will be able to match Utah in the paint or at least to force a close game.



Pick: Suns +7, 1.9 - 3 units play - Pinnacle
