Jazz veteran point guards lead Jazz against Suns

The 12-21 Suns are coming off a 95-89 home win over Philadelphia Wednesday night. They have a balanced attack with a starting lineup of Luis Scola, Marcin Gortat, Goran Dragic, P.J. Tucker and Jared Dudley, none of whom averages more than Dragic’s 14.5 per game. The bench includes lottery picks Markieff Morris, Michael Beasley and Sebastian Telfair and 16-year veteran Jermaine O’Neal and seven-year veteran Shannon Brown.

“They’re an explosive team and they can play with an up-tempo pace,’’ Corbin said. “If you get into a jump-shooting contest with them and don’t rotate quickly to them, they’re capable of hitting 3-point shots and getting opportunities early.’’

After Friday’s game, the Jazz head up to Denver for a Saturday night game before returning to play Dallas at home Monday.
