KEY GAME INFORMATION
UTAH: GUARDS: TREY BURKE is a savvy floor general who can shoot, but he's also short and a mediocre athlete (and we've seen how that's worked out for Brandon Knight). He'll step right in at the point, but immediate success is hardly guaranteed . . . ALEC BURKS is locked in at the two. He'll be able to hang in defensively, and he's a decent ball-handler and passer. His shaky jumper is an issue . . . BRANDON RUSH returns from an ACL tear and could emerge as the sixth man . . . JOHN LUCAS III is here as a Plan B at the point and to help mentor Burke a bit . . . IAN CLARK won't see a lot of action as a rookie, but he can play either guard spot. FORWARDS: DERRICK FAVORS will run into foul trouble, but he will be a nightly double-double threat and rim protector . . . GORDON HAYWARD becomes Utah's No. 1 option on offense. He'll struggle to create his own shot with defenses focusing on him, but he is a knock-down, three-point shooter who's improving off the dribble . . . MARVIN WILLIAMS is coming off heel surgery and will miss at least the first month of the season. He's not a part of Utah's long-term plans, but will likely see minutes due to the team's lack of depth . . . RICHARD JEFFERSON is a player/coach at this point in his career . . . JEREMY EVANS will be brainstorming for the dunk contest. CENTERS: ENES KANTER is a major upgrade over Al Jefferson as a defender and in the team concept on offense. He immediately becomes one of the league's better starting centers . . . ANDRIS BIEDRINS at least has a chance to reestablish himself as a capable back-up . . . RUDY GOBERT has freakish size, but he's a major project who is nowhere near ready to contribute.
PHOENIX: GUARDS: ERIC BLEDSOE immediately becomes the Suns' best player. He dominated for stretches while backing up Chris Paul . . . GORAN DRAGIC and Bledsoe will play together since they're the two best players on this team. Dragic also has enough size to match up with most twos . . . After a disappointing stint as a starter, SHANNON BROWN will return to the second unit . . . KENDALL MARSHALL doesn't fit new coach Jeff Hornacek's up-tempo style. The Suns will move him if they can . . . ARCHIE GOODWIN looked lost at times at Kentucky, but his ability to get to the line bodes well for his NBA future . . . GERALD GREEN is the kind of athlete who could make an impact on an up-tempo second unit . . . MALCOLM LEE is here in case Marshall is dealt. FORWARDS: MARKIEFF MORRIS has some upside as a skilled stretch four. He's shown flashes over his first two seasons, and playing in Honracek's up-tempo system should only help him take the next step forward . . . MARCUS MORRIS is still a man without a position, a tweener in a bad way. The Suns will try to make him into an effective second-unit guy . . . CHANNING FRYE missed all of last season with a heart ailment, and the Suns don't seem to be expecting to get anything from him this season.CENTERS: MARCIN GORTAT will keep the seat warm for Alex Len. He doesn't fit this up-and-down offense . . . ALEX LEN must become more assertive and the bust factor is high, but 7-footers with his mobility and touch don't come around often . . . MILES PLUMLEE could get minutes as a defensive specialist after making just 5-of-21 FG as a rookie.

*Jazz-Suns Preview* ===================

Utah (2-15) at Phoenix (9-7), 9:00 p.m. EDT

The Phoenix Suns turned in their best shooting performance of the season to take the opener of this home-and-home set with the lowly Utah Jazz.

Winning the second half of it could be even easier.

The Suns try to drop the Jazz to 0-10 on the road for the season Saturday night - one day after these teams staged an entertaining uptempo game.

Phoenix (9-7) won 112-101 on Friday behind 54.7 percent shooting. The Suns actually shot 65.5 percent through three quarters before turning in a 17-point fourth quarter with the outcome no longer in doubt.

Markieff Morris scored 23 points off the bench and Goran Dragic added 19 and nine assists as Phoenix won for the fourth time in five games.

"We just tried to push the ball," Dragic said. "Tried to get to the middle of the paint and tried to find open guys. When we share the ball, we're a really dangerous team."

Utah (2-15) had three days off after a rare victory Monday over Chicago. Coach Tyrone Corbin was stunned that his team played such lackadaisical defense since that was the focus of the Jazz's preparations.

"That's what they do," Corbin said. "We gotta get back. We talked about it the last couple days."

The Jazz have lost 10 straight on the road dating to last season. They are trying to avoid their first 10-game road slide in a single season since they dropped 17 in a row from Nov. 21, 1981-Feb. 6, 1982.

This season's road woes started with an 87-84 loss in Phoenix on Nov. 1. Eric Bledsoe won it for the Suns with a 3-pointer with 0.7 seconds left.

Since that contest, the Jazz's next eight road defeats have been by an average of 17.9 points - and none decided by less than 10.

The Jazz didn't have rookie guard Trey Burke available then. Burke scored 13 points Friday but he picked up two fouls in four first-quarter minutes and had to sit.

"I think it was definitely a bummer getting into foul trouble in the first five, 10 minutes," Burke said.

Making matters worse Friday for Utah was Bledsoe's return after he missed six straight games with a shin contusion. He scored 19 points off the bench after starting in his first nine appearances.

Utah got a pair of injured players back Friday in Enes Kanter and Brandon Rush, but was puzzled by Phoenix's transition success.

"We're going to have to look at the film and do a better job tomorrow definitely trying to slow them down in transition and figure it out in the half-court game as well," forward Marvin Williams said.

The Suns, 5-2 at home, are looking for a repeat performance.

"Everybody is getting involved," Morris said. "We're getting a lot of 3-pointers. We're a great 3-point shooting team. We're doing a great job of getting the ball inside and doing the pick-and-roll really well. That's basically it. Our guards have done a great job of finding players and getting them the ball."
