Pheonix Suns are coming off a terrific win against the New Orleans Pelicans and are building a lot of confidence as a squad. Despite Booker‘s poor scoring night, the squad displayed its depth, and the likes of Cameron Johnson and Mikal Bridges are playing in a top-notch manner.
Utah Jazz are looking like a threatening team. In the contest between Suns and Jazz, the depth of both teams will be tested, and perhaps the Suns have a little edge over Jazz in terms of the bench, especially with their depth at the Guard and Forward position.
