KEY GAME INFORMATION
UTAH: Dante Exum tore his ACL over the summer and will not play this season . . . Alec Burks is expected to be 100% after missing most of last season with a shoulder injury. If the improved three-point shot he showed off last year is for real, he'll be a solid two-way player . . . Trey Burke is looking at a sixth man role. It's a better fit for him; he doesn't have the athleticism to keep up with top guards . . . Joe Ingles is back as a solid glue guy in a part-time role . . . Raul Neto can be a solid defender and just might be the favorite to start this season . . . Olivier Hanlan gives them another potential ball-handler off the bench. Utah's go-to scorer is Gordon Hayward. He can knock down open jumpers and showed improved play off the dribble last year . . . Derrick Favors has always been a solid two-way player, and he and Rudy Gobert clicked nicely down the stretch last season . . . Rodney Hood has the makings of a solid 3-and-D wing. He could play his way into big minutes with Hayward's ability to slide to shooting guard . . . Trevor Booker is a decent defender who moves around and sets screens on offense . . . Trey Lyles' ability to step away from the basket is a plus, though he might need a year to add muscle . . . Defensive-minded J.J. O'Brien replaces Jeremy Evans at the end of the bench. The Enes Kanter trade opened up big minutes for Rudy Gobert, and he was a monster in the second half of the season. His defense alone makes him a legitimate All-Star candidate, though opponents will surely go small early and often to try to take him off the court . . . Tibor Pleiss is a bit of a poor man's Kanter, solid and skilled offensively but a poor defender.
PHOENIX: There were some trade rumors swirling around Eric Bledsoe this summer, but he's still in Phoenix and is the best guard on this roster by a wide margin . . . This summer, the Suns pulled up to Brandon Knight's house with a dump truck full of cash despite a track record of mediocre play. They're apparently trusting Knight to blossom in their uptempo attack . . . Sonny Weems returns from overseas as an effective defender, but long-range shooting remains a question mark . . . Devin Booker is one of the best pure shooters in this rookie class, though he'll need a year to learn on the job . . . Archie Goodwin will find minutes tough to come by until he develops a three-point shot . . . Ronnie Price gives them a veteran No. 3 point guard. Markieff Morris hasn't shown the ability to consistently knock down threes, which is something the Suns want out of the 4. He needs to shoot it well early to hold onto his starting job . . . P.J. Tucker was a little more assertive offensively late last season, but he's typically the fourth or fifth offensive option on the floor . . . Phoenix happily plucked Mirza Teletovic from the cash-strapped Nets, giving them a floor-spacing power forward to share time with Morris . . . Second-year man T.J. Warren is probably a better offensive player than Tucker, but he's a middling athlete better-suited defensively to the second unit . . . Veteran forward Jon Leuer is nice to have around as a practice player. Phoenix is counting on Tyson Chandler to provide some rim protection behind their middling defensive players. He'll also be relied on to do a lot of rebounding . . . The Suns will still find time for Alex Len, who could play alongside Chandler as a super-sized power forward at times. He added a corner three this summer.
PREVIEW
Jazz-Suns Preview
By KEVIN CHROUST STATS Writer

Utah and Phoenix didn't appear so different heading into their first meeting a month and a half ago, but that winter solstice contest foreshadowed the Suns' dark days ahead.

There's no sign of improvement heading into Saturday night's home game against the Jazz, who will try to extend their season-best win streak with more stingy defense.

Prior to their Dec. 21 meeting, Utah was 11-14 and Phoenix 12-17. Including that 110-89 win and a victory three days before, the Jazz have gone 14-11 and put themselves in the playoff discussion. Dating to the Suns' game the day before, they're a league-worst 2-21, and every other NBA team has at least five wins in that time.

Utah (24-25) concluded a six-game homestand with Friday's 84-81 win over Milwaukee, giving it a five-game streak entering a four-game road span straddling the All-Star break. The Jazz are in position to reach the .500 mark for the first time since being 10-10 entering play Dec. 11.

The streak has featured wins by an average of 11.6 points because the Jazz have limited opponents to 84.2 on 41.4 percent shooting and 27.3 from 3-point range. The returns of Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors from extended injuries have had an impact, but coach Quin Snyder also credited wings Gordon Hayward and Rodney Hood.

"The challenge, especially for Gordon and Rodney, is to not rest on the help side," Snyder said. "If they're guarding the ball, you're engaged. But when you get on the help side, as much work they're doing in other aspects of the game, there's a tendency just to kind of relax. I think we've been doing a better job fighting that."

The last two, however, haven't come easily with Utah scoring 84.5 points with shooting marks of 41.7 and 26.5, though Hood managed 23 points versus the Bucks. The guard has averaged 20.5 and shot 44.4 percent from 3-point range over the past eight games, but Snyder implied he'd like to see some stronger team numbers.

"I think we're an offensive juggernaut. We've scored over 80 in two straight games," Snyder told the team's official website.

Hayward had 24 points in the December win over Phoenix and has averaged 23.3 while shooting 50.0 percent in four split meetings since the start of last season.

The Suns (14-37) are quickly dipping to the bottom of the Western Conference with only the Los Angeles Lakers between them and the cellar. After Thursday's 111-105 home loss to Houston, they've dropped at least six straight for the third time during their 23-game tailspin, including the first two of a seven-game homestand.

The six-point loss to the Rockets was their closest game since last winning Jan. 23 - a 98-95 home win over Atlanta - but Phoenix shot 38.6 percent and had 24 turnovers.

Alex Len had 12 points and 18 rebounds, and Archie Goodwin had a team-high 22 points, but the guard committed six turnovers. Any offensive promise he's shown in eight starts with Brandon Knight out has been compromised by his struggles taking care of the ball. The 21-year-old has averaged 16.4 points in those games but also 4.25 turnovers.

"It's small things I'm not doing like getting to the outlet fast enough," Goodwin said. "I see the pass and sometimes I just throw it too hard or I don't drop it in the right spot. ... I'll get better at it."

He might have three more games to get it down with Knight possibly sidelined through the All-Star break due to a groin injury.
