With just 3 days left in the NBA regular season, we have a busy Friday night with 20 teams in action coming our way. The Phoenix Suns and Utah Jazz square off on NBA TV at 9:30 pm ET, and I have prepared a same game parlay which you can find below.
Be sure to also go through our predictions on the side and total for the rest of Friday’s 10-game slate, including part 1 of the NBA TV double-header between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Brooklyn Nets.
Let’s dive in!
Utah Jazz 1-10 win margin (+180)
Bojan Bogdanovic 3+ made threes (-108)
Mike Conley to record 8+ assists (+300)
Parlay odds: +1778
Utah Jazz 1-10 win margin (+180)
The pressure is on Utah to deliver a win in front of the home crowd if it want to secure the 5th seed in the Western Conference. The Denver Nuggets are a half game behind them in 6th, but a win tonight would wrap up the 5th seed because the Jazz own the tiebreaker. They have already beaten the Suns once this season in 3 meetings and all 3 games have been decided by less than 10 points, so we could be in for another tight one tonight. Phoenix rested its starters in the loss to the Clippers, but the reserves hung in there during a 4-point loss. Regardless of who plays, this team will always give you 100% of effort; hopefully that is the case in tonight’s game, as well. Utah has won 5 in a row at home and is 10-3 SU in its last 13 against Phoenix at Vivint Arena.

Bojan Bogdanovic 3+ made threes (-108)
Bogdanovic’s contribution will be huge for the Jazz in the upcoming postseason; they simply cannot rely on Donovan Mitchell to carry them alone on offense. Since coming back from injury, Bogey’s form has been steadily improving. He has scored in double-figures in all 4 games this month and in his last game vs the Thunder he had 27 on 63% shooting. In April he is hitting 2.3 threes per game on 41.2% shooting, which is slightly down from his amazing 47% in March, but still very impressive nonetheless. Bogdanovic has had some really good games against the Suns; in 2 of his last 4 against them he scored 20+ points and with them allowing opponents to make 36.5% of threes over their last 3 games, I think there’s a really solid chance of him also doing well in this one.

Mike Conley to Record 8+ Assists (+300)
For Bogdanovic to go off, the Jazz will need someone to distribute the ball and that someone will be Mike Conley — who has been doing just that over his last 2 games. Against the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors he recorded 8 assists, which is a really big step up from his 5.1 average in March. If he can maintain this level of play in the coming weeks, Utah could be a force in the postseason. There’s a good chance that Phoenix might rest a couple of big names here, so if Chris Paul and Devin Booker sit out that would make Conley’s life a lot easier in this game. Fingers crossed he gets to handle the ball as much as he did in the past 2 games.
