Phoenix Suns is set to take on Utah Jazz in NBA 2021-22 on Tuesday, 25 January 2022 at 07:30 AM IST
The Jazz are coming off a 92-94 loss against the Golden State Warriors. With a loss against a top team in the West, the Jazz are now 30-17 on the season. Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns continue to be one of the most dominant regular-season teams.
With a 113-103 win against the Indiana Pacers, the Suns continue to hold on to the top spot in the West with a 36-9 season record.
With their loss to the Golden State Warriors on the road, the Utah Jazz are 2-3 in their last five games. They have also lost their last four away games.
The Jazz have been quite inconsistent since the start of the new year. While the absence and return of Rudy Gobert affected their rotations, the big man has had little impact in helping the team this month.
Against the Warriors, Utah hung tough throughout the course of the game. Cutting through two big deficits to keep the game close, the Jazz also managed to tie the game with four minutes left in the fourth quarter.
While Bojan Bogdanovic kept things interesting with a late three-pointer to bring the Jazz to within two points, the basket would be his last of the game.
The key player for the Utah Jazz in Monday nights game could be Mike Conley. Although he is not the primary star in the team, the Jazz will be significantly shorthanded as they head into their matchup in Phoenix.
Conley might consider sitting out on the second night of a back-to-back, with Gobert and Mitchell both potentially out with injury. However, the Jazz find themselves in a serious predicament. Conley will have to step up and assume more responsibility in this game.
The Phoenix Suns have continued their dominant streak this month. Going 5-0 in their last five, the Suns will look to extend their winning streak against the Pacers.
There were a few impressive points to note in their game against Indiana. A major one was the minutes played by Chris Paul. He played 41 minutes in the game, and recorded 18 points and 16 assists.
The key player for the Phoenix Suns in Mondays game could be Chris Paul. Coming off a solid double-double outing against the Indiana Pacers, Paul continues to be a key piece in the Suns system.
Paul is one of the craftiest players in the NBA. Still putting up tremendous numbers at this stage in his career, Paul has helped the Suns become one of the best fourth-quarter teams this season.
Paul continues to run Phoenixs offense to perfection, be it hitting the open man in the corner, finding the big in the dunkers spot or getting an easy bucket from the elbow.
Against Utah, Phoenix will look to Paul to help them overwhelm the Jazz. While the Jazz will have a significant inside presence with Gobert, the Suns will need to limit his range and establish a solid offensive rhythm to continue their winning streak.
