The Pick
Phoenix Suns -1.5. Utah was the surprise team to start the season, but they’ve come back down to earth losing 3 straight contests. While this Utah team may be better than people expected, they’re not going to finish as a top 4 offense (where they rank now). Their recent struggles are a sign of things to come and what was expected. Now the Suns are coming off a huge 130-point offensive performance that saw them shoot 21/40 from 3 and they will keep rolling against a Utah team they’ve had great success against. Phoenix is 7-2 ATS the L9 meetings with Utah and are a perfect 4-0 ATS L4 in Utah. Phoenix is also 6-1 ATS L7 games vs a team with a winning record while Utah is 17-35-2 ATS L54 in that same scenario. The Suns are also 9-3 ATS L12 Overall and 6-2 ATS L8 games played on 1 days rest. Utah is 0-5 L5 gamed played on 2 days rest and 13-37-1 ATS L51 games following an ATS Loss. This Suns team is simply better, and they deserve to be a bigger favorite but the hot start by Utah has this line closer than it should be.
