Looking ahead in the NBA: Phoenix Suns at Utah Jazz on Tuesday

PHOENIX AT UTAH: 7:30 p.m. PDT Tuesday. TV: TNT.

The resurgent Suns and Jazz are jostling with fading Houston for the final spot in the Western Conference playoffs. It could be a last hurrah of sorts for Phoenix point guard Steve Nash, who has said he would consider playing elsewhere next season if the Suns don’t significantly upgrade their roster. But Phoenix has already looked like a different team while winning eight of 12 games to move back into playoff contention. The Suns have won both meetings against the Jazz this season, including a 107-105 victory earlier this month at EnergySolutions Arena.
