A pair of Western Conference teams close out a two-game series on the hardwood as they meet in the Beehive State. The Phoenix Suns are on the road as they take on the Utah Jazz Sunday night. These teams met on Friday night with the Suns surviving a wild shootout to prevail 131-128, though they failed to cover the line as a 5.5-point favorite in the contest. In the all-time regular season series between the teams, the Suns own a 103-95 advantage and have won the last four meetings, with two of those coming this season. Will Phoenix run their win streak over the Jazz to five games or will Utah split this two-game set?
