Phoenix looking to bounce back from loss
Coming off a disappointing 108-102 loss last time out, Phoenix hits the road with a chance to get on the winning track Tuesday at Utah.
Sporting a 45-20 overall record and an 8-3 mark within the division, the Suns aim to knock the Jazz (6-5 in the division) for a loss.
Defence may play a big role in this one, but that's mainly because experts don't think much of it will be played. Oddsmakers opened the total on the high side, a huge 209, while the Suns opened as 6-point favorites.
After losing last time out, Mike D'Antoni's team looks to rebound with a solid showing on the road Tuesday in Utah. They were 5-point underdogs in that game, which went over the total of 208.5.
The Jazz, meanwhile, will try to forget a 90-84 loss at the hands of the Grizzlies, a game where they were underdogs by 6. The total score went under the total.
This game is likely to come down to the Suns' execution on offence. They rank 1st in the league in scoring and look to sustain their 108.3 points per game average against the Jazz' #10-rated defensive unit.
