Who do we believe in more – the Phoenix Suns or Utah Jazz?

While the LA Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers, who both sit atop the Western Conference standings, haven’t been exactly been surprising this season, there are two teams that are in the top 4 of the West that is a bit shocking.

The Phoenix Suns and Utah Jazz are both in the top 4 of the standings and have been extremely impressive to start the season. Utah is arguably the hottest team in the NBA, having won eight games in a row. But, which team can we believe in more as we get to the quarter mark of the regular season?

It’s tough to say, though, I’d lean to being a bigger believer in Chris Paul and Devin Booker. The duo has been great for the Suns this season and has changed the trajectory of their ceiling. Phoenix should be a playoff team and I can’t wait to see what Booker looks like in a playoff atmosphere.

I’ll take the Suns.
