The Utah Jazz (12-9) are coming into tonight's game against the Phoenix Suns (12-6) on a three-game losing skid. Last night, the Jazz suffered a 129-118 defeat to the Golden State Warriors. Needless to say, they're in dire need of a win here tonight.
The Phoenix Suns, meanwhile, are coming into tonight's game on a three-game winning streak. Interestingly, their last loss this season was to the Jazz on November 18. They'll no doubt be looking to get some payback on their struggling rivals tonight.

Jazz vs. Suns Betting Prediction
Mike Conley's absence tonight does not bode well for the Utah Jazz, especially considering their general struggles with defense this season. A loss here will mark the Jazz's fourth straight defeat in an increasingly hit-and-miss season for the Utah outfit.
The Suns, meanwhile, are coming into this one hot off three straight wins. All-time great point guard Chris Paul's status for tonight is of some alarm but even if he is unable to play, the team still beat the Pistons last night without him. Against a struggling, injury-laden team like the Jazz, Paul or no Paul, this should be the Suns' night.
Prediction: Suns -7 (-107)
