Utah vs Phoenix Prediction: Booker is the Suns' Hope

Prediction for the NBA match between Utah vs Phoenix, which will take place on November 18th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Jazz started the season 2-7 but then faced two Western Conference underdogs and improved. First, Will Hardy's team beat Memphis 127-121 on the road, then Portland 115-99 at home.

Of course, wins over teams at the bottom of the standings should not be overestimated. Overall, Utah's game still lacks balance. The Jazzmen are often quite good on offense, but on defense, they rank 26th in the league, conceding an average of 119.5 points per game. At this point, the team from Salt Lake City can hardly be considered a contender.

The Suns waited for Devin Booker to return and finally played a game worthy of their contender status. At home, Phoenix sent 130 points into the basket of the best defense of the season's opening stretch, Minnesota - 133-115. Booker and Durant earned 31 points. Bradley Beal skipped the game, but the Suns are only better without him.

Phoenix broke a mini-series of two consecutive losses to Oklahoma (99-111) and Los Angeles Lakers (119-122) with the victory over Minnesota. Frank Vogel's team is now 5-6. The Suns only need to win one more game to reach the 50% mark.

Phoenix with and without Devin Booker are two different teams, even with Kevin Durant in the lineup. Booker will almost certainly play in this upcoming game, so we're picking the Suns without a doubt. Besides, Utah is not the strongest team in the league right now.
