The Utah Jazz (21-53) visit the Phoenix Suns (40-33) on Saturday. Tip-off from Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix, Arizona, is at 10 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze NBA odds around the Jazz vs. Suns odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Jazz, eliminated from postseason contention and in second-to-last place in the Western Conference, have lost 4 straight games and 8 of their last 9. They last played on Friday, losing 135-129 to the Denver Nuggets but covering the 19.5-point spread as road underdogs with the Over (247.5) cashing. They blew a 14-point lead as Nuggets C Nikola Jokic had a triple-double for the fourth consecutive game with 33 points, 15 boards and 12 assists, and G Jamal Murray followed up his 53-point game with 31 points and 14 assists.

The Suns have been struggling. While they are nearly locked into the seventh seed and have earned a play-in berth, 2.5 games ahead of the eighth-ranked LA Clippers and 4 behind the sixth-ranked Houston Rockets, they have lost 6 of their last 7 games. They are coming off a 125-123 loss — also to the Nuggets — on Tuesday, covering the 6-point spread as home underdogs with the Over (233.5) cashing.

The last meeting between the Jazz and Suns was on Oct. 31 in Phoenix, a 118-96 Suns win as 3-point favorites with the Under (236.5) cashing.

Jazz at Suns picks and predictionsPrediction

Suns 129, Jazz 121

With an 8-28 road record, 8 losses in their last 9 games, and 5 consecutive road losses, the Jazz are never a good bet to win on the road, even against a struggling team like the Suns.

But the Suns are still 23-15 at home and they have beaten the Jazz in 9 of their last 10 meetings.

But should you bet the Suns ML at -1400? No, you get better odds betting either team to cover the spread.

PASS.

The Jazz have lost 4 straight games but only 1 of those losses has been by more than 16 points. The Suns’ last win was by 22 points and it was at home, and they are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 outright wins and 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 wins.

But the Jazz are 8-6 ATS when playing on no rest, per Teamrankings.com, and they are averaging 122.0 points per game over their last 5 — even while allowing 134.3 points per game in their losing streak.

BET JAZZ +16.5 (-110).

The Over is 8-2 in the Jazz’ last 10 games and has cashed in 4 straight games. The Over has cashed in 8 of the last 10 meetings between the 2 teams, as well.

Utah’s opponents have scored 124 or more in 8 of the last 9 games, and if the Suns do that and the Jazz keep the game within 16 points, as expected, the Over easily clears.

BET OVER 230.5 (-110).
