The Suns wrap up their three game road trip on Monday hoping to get a win at Utah before they return home for a six game home stand.

Jazz (36-20) have lost their last two games both at home to the Spurs and Rockets respectively.

Suns (23-34) hope to finish their road trip with another win after beating the Bulls on Saturday.

The game will be televised on FSAZ.

Start time is scheduled for 7 p.m. MST (Arizona time).

I didn't realize Ayton had an ankle issue again.

this is why i posed a question in one of the other threads.

Is it his body? Is it our trainers? or were we just sitting him since we're pretty much out of the playoffs and it was close to all-star break. Guess it's more likely his body.

I haven't heard why Ayton was listed on the injury report... whether it's something new or it relates to a previous issue with the ankle. Don't think the Suns are sitting him on purpose because they are still technically in the playoff race. Maybe wearing high tops would help.

It looks to me that it is just a continuation of the previous report.

Yeah. He has been on it the last two games. I thought he came off of it on Saturday but he didn't.

I really hope Kelly shows up tonight, if he plays like he has the last 3 or 4 games we have no chance.

Ayton already with two personal fouls. It's not a good game for him to get into foul trouble.

The Suns are up 14-8 to start the game, but a Utah '3' makes it 14-11.

Nice pass by Rubio to Ayton at the rim.

Okobo is the first guard off the bench and turns it over.

strange night in the NBA after the wake. Cleveland might win Washington too. Really what is the mojo against Okobo

IMO, Carter and, for brief stretches, Jarome should play backup PG. Okobo has been a mess, he should be in the D-League right now.

Our backup PG situation is bad but at least Carter brings it on D every game. Okobo, not only sucks on offense but he is a constant pick and roll target. He was the defender on both Mitchell 3s.

Okobo is just terrible. When I turned the game on it was 19-16. I don’t think the jazz missed a shot other than the end of quarter heave from that point on. Our defense was atrocious.

Only 3 points from the Suns bench, a 3 pointer by Baynes.
