Utah Jazz vs Phoenix Suns Final Score & Over/Under Result — Oct 16, 2026

Lauri Markkanen led Utah to a 119–116 road victory over Phoenix with 19 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assist, anchoring a Jazz offense that refused to fade despite trailing for much of the night. The combined 235 points exceeded the 225.5 market total, cashing the over by 9.5 as both teams kept pace through three quarters before a fourth-quarter defensive clamp dropped the game's final 15 points below its first-half pace.

Utah's recent form—117.2 points per game over its last ten—proved decisive in close quarters. The Jazz matched Phoenix's intensity through the first half, with 61 combined points in Q1 and 63 in Q2 establishing a 124-point first-half combined pace. Jaren Jackson Jr. added 17 points and Brice Sensabaugh chipped in 16 points with 3 assists for Utah. Phoenix countered with Dillon Brooks (18 pts, 4 reb) and Jalen Green (18 pts, 2 reb, 2 ast), though Devin Booker's 16 points and 6 assists weren't quite enough to control the tempo. The third quarter remained deadlocked at 61 combined points, but the fourth collapsed to just 50 as both defenses tightened. DAGGER leaned over, and it cashed.
