SUNS vs. JAZZ
Team records:
Phoenix: 0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS
Utah: 0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS
Time: Thursday 10:30 ET
Venue: EnergySolutions Arena, Salt Lake City
Spread: Jazz -6
Over/Under: 208.5
Between the two of them, the Jazz and Suns combined for 121 regular season and playoff wins last season, but there are whispers around the league that both franchises might be ready to take a step back.
Steve Nash looks around the locker room and sees that Hedo Turkoglu has replaced Amar’e Stoudemire, and figures that the Suns got the short end of that stick. In Utah, high-energy power forward Carlos Boozer is gone and Easy Al Jefferson now is at the 4.
Jefferson is hardly chopped liver, but Jerry Sloan has his work cut out trying to get AJ to give the team 40 minutes at both ends of the court.

Utah is 13-3 SU in its last 16 games at home
The total has gone UNDER in 8 of Phoenix’s last 11 games on the road

Best parlay bet: Thirteen and change is way way way too much to lay. Washington will be trying to get things going to energize its dispirited fan base, and while there aren’t enough arrows in the quiver to win this one, grab the points. Package it with the Suns-Jazz under for a parlay play. Phoenix is not the offensive juggernaut it was with Amare Stoudemire, and the Suns may spend most of the season trying to find their way.
