The Jazz visit the Suns on Sunday which will be the second game of their four game home stand.

Jazz are 37-22 and beat the Mavericks in their last outing. They are 7-3 in their last ten games.

Suns are now 49-11 after their loss to the Pelicans. In their last ten games they are 8-2.

The game will be nationally televised on ABC.

It's a day game with a scheduled start time of 1:30 p.m. Arizona time.

It appears Rudy Gobert guarded Luka Doncic in the Jazz win over the Mavericks on Friday.

It's a strategy the Suns may see on Sunday perhaps on Booker.

Aaron Holiday has been upgraded to QUESTIONABLE. At least there is some hope.

No changes otherwise. Cam Payne is still OUT.

they need Holiday bad to beat a good Jazz team.

They do.

I fruitlessly look to see if the Suns have signed a point guard to a 10-day contract.

Got me excited Street, but the East coast in getting the 76ers

Yeah, that seems a bit optimistic.

im worried about this one.

I'm not particularly worried about Utah but without Chris Paul, I'm concerned about every opponent. Even when Payne gets healthy and fully up to game speed, without CP3 we're very beatable.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Gonna be a very hard gm with no cp3 vs jazz..

Suns really need book sizzle and monster ayton to show tod

Awesom early tilp ill be able to watch!


Honestly i expect suns to struggle no cp3 for so long but just hope keep top 2 seed at worst 3

 

[Carolinacacti]

Double header today. 76's first then Suns vs Jazz so I do get to watch the mismatch. Let's hope the three's fall at a 60% rate

This is the injury report for the Jazz. Jared Butler is out. Rudy Gay is questionable.

Monty Williams says "we'll see" when asked if Aaron Holiday will play.

Cam Payne doesn't look too far away the way he shoots. He is wearing a wrist band on right arm.

Suns didn't have any on-court preparation for today's game.

we need him back desperately. even with him, I think we're looking at playing around .500 the rest of the year unless a light magically goes on for Ayton and he becomes playoff Ayton for the rest of the season.

 

[Mainstreet]

A Frank Kaminsky sighting.

Suns need both Payne and Holiday available while Paul is out. Maybe one or both will be back soon.

This may be why they haven't brought in another point guard on a 10-day contract.

 

[Cheesebeef]

i wouldn't shed a tear if Rudy doesn't play today.

 

[DJ Tabooh]

Jazz are 2.5 point favorites today. We’re gonna have to bring it this game. Ayton needs to be aggressive and win his matchup against Rudy. We need Dominayton today. And we’ll need two of Bridges/Cam/Shamet to knock down some threes. Utah can score like crazy. If it gets to be up and down, that favors them. Book….be smart. Get your teammates involved and then get yours.
