Phoenix Suns
Including this game, there are eight games left for Phoenix with only one against a team with nothing to fight for (Spurs).
Kevin Durant is nearing a return to the court which is perfect timing for the Suns who’ll need to integrate him and develop as much chemistry as possible down the stretch.
While he won’t suit up for this match Shams Charania tweeted the superstar could be back for the next game versus the Wolves giving his six games to get back in rhythm before the postseason.
Phoenix Suns' 13-time All-Star Kevin Durant (sprained ankle) is progressing toward a potential return to action on Wednesday vs. Minnesota Timberwolves, barring any setback, league sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

Stats
Phoenix averages 113.7 points per game ranking 18th while shooting 46.9% from the field and 37.7% from the perimeter ranking 21st and seventh overall.
Defensively opponents score 112.8 points ranking fourth-best. Meanwhile, they limit opponent shooting to 46.8% from the field and 36% from the perimeter ranking eighth and 15th respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Kevin Durant SF (OUT indefinitely — ankle)
- Deandre Ayton C (probable — hip)
Utah Jazz
Brutal timing for the Jazz to be without their All-Star Markkanen as they remain in the mix for a play-in seed but with each loss that dream is slipping away.
They’ve lost three in a row and have the ninth most difficult closing strength of schedule remaining.
Stats
On the positive side, Utah averages the sixth most points per game with 117.3 while they shoot 47.2% from the field and 35.8% from the perimeter ranking 18th in both efficiency categories.
Equally important, Jazz opponents score 117.8 points which ranks 24th while shooting 47.5% from the field and 36.6% from deep ranking 17th and 19th.
Injury Report
Because the Jazz played Friday, an update hasn’t been submitted yet so this summarizes the likely absences…
- Lauri Markkanen, SF (questionable —hand)
- Collin Sexton, PG (OUT indefinitely—hamstring)
- Rudy Gay SG (OUT —back)
- Jordan Clarkson PG (OUT —finger)

Free Phoenix Suns vs. Utah Jazz NBA Prediction:
Blowouts to the Bucks and Kings aside the Jazz won’t just mail in their effort despite not having Markkanen and Clarkson with the former potentially returning for this game.
Unfortunately, the Jazz don’t play much defense allowing as many points as they score so this one likely goes to the Suns but I’ll take the points and Utah keeping it close (especially if Markkanen plays) just like they did in the two prior meetings.
