These two teams have not faced off yet during the 2022-23 regular season, but Friday marks the start of a six-day stretch in which these two will see each other twice. (The next matchup is Saturday, Nov. 26 in Phoenix.)
Phoenix Suns
Chris Paul hasn’t played since his early exit on Nov. 7 against the Philadelphia 76ers. His status technically remains day-to-day as of this writing, as does Landry Shamet’s.
On the year, Phoenix is scoring 113.7 points per contest, which puts the team in 14th as of Thursday evening.
In terms of advanced stats, the Suns score 113.2 points per 100 possessions. That number places them in 4th.
Defensively, this groups allows 107 points per night, putting them in 5th so far this season.
Looking at Defensive Efficiency, Phoenix gives up 107 points per 100 possessions—a number that ranks 3rd on the year behind only the No. 2 LA Clippers and No. 1 Milwaukee Bucks.
Utah Jazz
On the year, the Jazz are scoring 116.6 points per game. That number puts them in 7th across the Association so far this season.
Looking at the advanced stats, they’re scoring 111.4 points per 100 possessions—a number that puts them in 7th.

Looking at Defensive Efficiency, the Jazz give up 108.7 points per game, putting them in 12th across the Association, which is also an exact tie with the Dallas Mavericks.
Entering this one, the Jazz list Rudy Gay as OUT. It’s expected he’ll miss two weeks with a finger injury.

Free Phoenix Suns vs. Utah Jazz NBA Prediction:
After their absolutely shocking start to the season, Utah has looked human again having dropped three straight to the Washington Wizards, Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks.
It’s not entirely fair to say they’ve crashed down to earth, but we’re hitting a point in the season where we know who’s real and which anomalies start to balance out.
Keep an eye on Utah going forward, because I wouldn’t expect them to slip entirely, but they may not be the streaky winners they were to start the year.
Unfortunately for the Jazz, they’re up against a tough team in the Suns on Friday whether or not Chris Paul suits up. That’s not going to help them bust this slump one bit.
I’m picking the Jazz to drop a fourth straight overall, and at Phoenix -1.5, that’s an easy call for the road team to cover.
