Tuesday night NBA sees two Western Conference foes face off who have been absent from the postseason for a while, but one is gunning for a return while the other is aiming for ping pong balls in June’s draft lottery.
*All statistics, rankings and trends are current as of this writing on Monday, Dec. 5 2016.
Phoenix Suns
Phoenix is an exciting young team that just can’t put it all together. Devin Booker has proven he can be counted on as a reliable scorer.

Eric Bledsoe, Tyler Ulis and Brandon Knight round out the backcourt, while prospects such as Dragan Bender, Marquese Criss and Alex Len provide hope for the future of the frontcourt.
There’s also T.J. Warren who has surprised most this season (his absence has been felt while dealing with an illness).
The problem is that veterans such as Tyson Chandler, Jared Dudley and Leandro Barbosa haven’t been enough to balance out the youth at this point in the process.

Entering this contest, Phoenix is just 29th in the league in terms of points allowed at 113.2 per game. Offensively, however, this group is excelling, putting up an impressive 106.3 points per night — good enough for eighth in the NBA.
The problem, of course, is that the Suns are a clear net negative in the scoring column. This team hasn’t won two games in a row more than once this season.
Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz need health to be on their side if they hope to make their return to the playoffs.
They could also use more consistency scoring the basketball.
At 99.5 points per contest, Utah is just 25th in the league in scoring. The good news is that things are trending upward in Salt Lake City.
During the Jazz’s most recent success streak (they’ve won five out of their last six), the scoring average has jumped to 108.3 points per night — a number that would place them at seventh in the league if maintained for the course of the season.

Where this team really makes a name for itself is on defense. So far this year, Utah is allowing just 94.8 points per contest.
How good is that number you ask? Let’s ask all 29 other teams in the NBA — because that’s how many trail the Jazz in that category.
Utah is No. 1 this season in points per game allowed and fourth in defensive efficiency.
