The teams with the NBA’s best records face each other Wednesday when the Utah Jazz (38-12) visit the Phoenix Suns (35-14) for a 10:10 p.m. ET tip-off. Below, we analyze the Jazz-Suns odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.
Utah had a nine-game winning streak snapped Monday, losing to the Dallas Mavericks 111-103 on the road. The Jazz have the league’s best home record at 22-2 but are only 16-10 on the road. They currently would be the No. 1 seed in the West and hold a 2.5-game lead over the Suns.
The Suns have won six in a row and nine of 10. They beat the Jazz on the road 106-95 back on New Year’s Eve. They are 18-8 at home this season, including 5-0 in their last five there.

Jazz at Suns: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Jazz 110, Suns 107
Money line (ML)
Both teams enter this game hot. The Suns have won six in a row. The Jazz lost their last game but had won nine in a row. The Suns beat the Jazz in their last matchup. Both have done extremely well this season against teams with winning records. Utah is 18-8 against teams above .500 and the Suns are 18-6. Utah scores more per game this season at 116.9 points per game. It will be a good game but the Jazz will be victorious. Take the JAZZ -120.

Against the spread (ATS)
The Suns have the most ATS wins this season with 32 and the Jazz are next with 31. Phoenix has not covered the spread in any loss this season. They are 4-4 ATS in their last eight games, while the Jazz are 1-3 ATS in their last four. This is only a two-point spread, so if you lean toward the Jazz winning as I do, take JAZZ -2 (-110).
Over/Under (O/U)
Four of the last five games and seven of the last 10 for the Jazz have gone Under. The Suns’ last four have gone Over, but they are 5-5 O/U in their last 10. When the two teams met in December, the total was lower than this matchup and they went well Under that, combing for 201 points. Take UNDER 226.5 (-110).
