Randy’s Pick

The Phoenix Suns just beat the Jazz a couple of nights ago on a dagger from Durant, the sort of performance that should give that group a needed shot in the arm. The Utah Jazz just can't finish games, they've lost 7 of their last 10 and they still don't play defense. The Suns have won 4 straight against the Jazz and 8 of the last 10 overall. I'll lay the reasonable chalk.
