Another key player for the Suns is Kevin Durant. Although he had a relatively quiet game in their last matchup, Durant has proven himself as a reliable scorer and playmaker. With an average of 16 points and 7 assists per game, Durant's contributions cannot be overlooked.


Devin Booker, the star guard for the Suns, has also been performing well recently. In their previous game, Booker recorded a double-double with 20 points and 10 assists. His ability to create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates makes him a vital piece of the Suns' offense.

On the other side of the court, the Utah Jazz will be relying on Collin Sexton to lead them to victory. Sexton has been consistent in his performances, averaging 16 points and 3 assists per game over their last three matchups. His ability to penetrate the defense and create scoring opportunities will be crucial for the Jazz.


Lauri Markkanen has also been a standout player for the Jazz, averaging an impressive 30 points and 9 rebounds per game. His shooting percentages have been outstanding, with 57% from the field and 40% from beyond the arc. Markkanen's scoring prowess will be a significant factor in determining the outcome of the game.


Both teams have shown their strengths in recent games, but the Suns' winning streak gives them an edge. If Allen can continue his exceptional performance and Durant and Booker step up their game, the Suns have a good chance of extending their winning streak.


The game is scheduled to take place on February 9th at Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona. Fans can catch all the action on AZFamily and KJZZ networks. It promises to be an exciting matchup between two talented teams vying for victory.
