The Utah Jazz will be a part of the NBA's first batch of NBA Cup games on Halloween night against the Phoenix Suns for their second meeting of the season, and will look to rattle off a 3-2 start through five games, as well as kicking off their in-season tournament slate 1-0.

According to the Utah Jazz, they have exercised fourth-year rookie-scale team options on Keyonte George, Taylor Hendricks, and Brice Sensabaugh. They also extended third-year rookie-scale team options on Isaiah Collier and Cody Williams.

Devin Booker paced the Suns (2-4) one day after his 29th birthday with a season-high 36 points, giving him four straight 30-point games. He’s churned out at least 30 in five of Phoenix’s six games. This is the first time Phoenix has held a team under 100 points this season.

Utah Jazz rookie Ace Bailey has an affinity for the mid-range shot. He's voiced that it's his favorite shot to take and one of the spots he's more comfortable with on the offensive end, and as proven through his college days at Rutgers, and even a couple of preseason games, those shots can definitely fall when he gets going.

BOTTOM LINE: Utah looks to end its three-game slide with a victory over Boston. Boston went 61-21 overall a season ago while going 28-13 at home. The Celtics averaged 116.3 points per game last season, 41.2 in the paint, 15.6 off of turnovers and 11.9 on fast breaks.

In just his second game of the season, Harkless showcased his defensive grit, taking on the challenge of guarding Devin Booker and the Suns’ perimeter threats. He finished with five points and a neutral plus-minus in a blowout loss in 12 minutes, contributing through the kind of intangibles that don’t always show up on the stat sheet.

Instead of the original sunset orange, the new jersey showcases a grey-to-black gradient accented by light blue trim. The original design symbolized southern Utah's red rock landscapes, while the new look draws inspiration from the state's mountain ranges.
