Just 2 days after I landed my +1262 same game parlay on the Phoenix Suns vs Utah Jazz, the teams run it back tonight, but this time in Salt Lake City as part of the ESPN doubleheader. The game is scheduled to tip-off at 10:00 pm ET, before that we have the New York Knicks and Miami Heat battling in South Beach at 7:30 pm ET.
Continue reading below to see my same game parlay for the Suns vs Jazz game, which pays just over 12/1 with FanDuel Sportsbook, but also check our predictions on the side and total for the rest of Wednesday’s 10 games.
Let’s dive in!
Phoenix Suns 1-10 winning margin (+170)
Cameron Johnson over 3.5 made threes (+132)
Chris Paul over 5.5 rebounds (+118)
Parlay odds: +1234
Phoenix Suns 1-10 winning margin (+170)
The Suns beat the Jazz by 6 points just 2 days ago and tonight they’ll be looking to win their 8th game in a row. Utah had 4 starters out in that game, despite that they led early in the 4th quarter before the Suns went on a run to put them away for good. Bojan Bogdanovic and Mike Conley Jr. are likely to return to the Jazz lineup tonight, and with them playing at home I expect another close game. The Suns have beaten them in 5 straight and are on a 7-game winning streak on the road as well. They’ve covered the spread in 5 of their last 6 games against West teams. Coming into tonight’s game they are 4.5-point favorites and I expect them to get the job done, but Utah won’t go away without a fight in front of their home fans.

Cameron Johnson over 3.5 made threes (+132)
With the Suns dealing with a couple of injuries to Jae Crowder and Cam Payne, Johnson’s role has expanded quite a lot lately and he has delivered. Over his last 7 games he is averaging 14.3 points per game and shooting 47% from the field, plus 42% from downtown. In Monday’s win over Utah he went 5-for-8 from 3-point land and he has already had 3 games of 4 or more 3-pointers in January. If Devin Booker struggles again with his shooting like he did on Monday, Johnson is our guy to step up and make some threes. Utah ranks 8th-worst in opponent 3-point percentage in games played at home, so that’s something he can use to his advantage.
Chris Paul over 5.5 rebounds (+118)
Chris Paul has been absolutely spectacular over his last 10 games averaging 15.1 points, 11.2 assists and 5.1 rebounds while shooting over 50% from the field. He just had 9 boards in the win on Monday against the Jazz and with this being a road game, I expect him to focus a lot more on his defensive assignments, especially with Conley Jr. coming back for the Jazz. With Deandre Ayton missing once again, the Suns will have to rely on other options for rebounding. Paul was tied with JaVale McGee for 2nd on the team in rebounding on Monday, grabbing 8 of them on defense and 1 on offense. I’m expecting a dip in his points production tonight, but the assists and rebounding should remain the same.
