Utah 10-2 ATS at Suns last 12

Suns 5-9 ATS in second of b2b

Looks like it should be -3, but above info knocked it down

Pho crushed the Clips last night, Clips beat the Jazz on 3/1.

Line is short and everybody is buying the Suns.

Jazz tonight.

If you go by statistics , it's like this

149 Games Played Against Eachother

Phoenix WON 70 GAMES

Utah WON 79 GAMES


Phoenix has a .470 winning percentage against Utah all-time

Phoenix averaged 103.1 Points per game during these matchups

Utah Averaged 104.7 Points per game during these matchups


So if you talk history game Statistics Then "UTAH" should be at -1.6 at minimum , so i wouldn't touch the Phoenix at -1.5 in this game if you made me choose between playing phoenix and a " kick in the nuts" i would take the kick in the nuts without thinking lol

1.5 may even be high, I like Utah outright but it will be close. I teased Utah up to 11.5 which should be gold

Those stats are back to the 1979 - 1980 season when the Utah Jazz first used that name as the were new orlean jazz prior to this so by this statistic you could say the jazz shouldd be -3.3 favorite over the suns if you go by history, eithier way you look at it, the stat favor the jazz in this matchup, but that doesn't mean that they will win.
