Portland Trail Blazers Betting Preview
The Portland Trail Blazers have been in terrific form as they’ve won five of their first six games of the season and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after running past the Nuggets in a thrilling 118-110 road win on Monday. Deni Avdija led the team with 28 points on 10 of 22 shooting, Damian Lillard added 20 points with six assists while Donovan Clingan and Jrue Holiday each scored 17 points. As a team, the Trail Blazers shot 47 percent from the field and 15 of 41 from the 3-point line as they got off to a slow start and scored just 19 points in the first quarter to fall behind by 14 points, but they responded with 39 points in the second quarter and dominated the rest of the game to run past the Nuggets with time to spare in the end.
Phoenix Suns Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns have really struggled to get going as they lost four of their first five games and they are now on a three-game skid after falling painfully short to the Warriors in a 116-113 road defeat on Monday. Devin Booker led the team with 26 points and five assists, Miles Bridges added 21 points on seven of 14 shooting while Dillon Brooks chipped in with 18 points, eight rebounds and four assists. As a team, the Suns shot 47 percent from the field and 11 of 30 from the 3-point line as they held the Warriors to just 19 points in the first quarter to jump out to an early 17-point lead, but they allowed the Warriors back into the contest and it cost them in the fourth quarter where the Suns managed just 20 points to allow the Warriors off the hook.
Portland v Phoenix Free Prediction
The Trail Blazers are still missing Ja Morant and Shaedon Sharpe, while the Suns have ruled out Mark Williams again with Jordan Goodwin and Rasheer Fleming both listed as questionable. The Trail Blazers lost Morant to injury but it didn’t slow them down on Monday when they pulled off the upset over the Nuggets, so I like their chances against this ice-cold Suns team who are still stuck on one win for the season. Even with Morant out injured, the likes of Avdija, Lillard and Holiday can pick up the slack and dissect this struggling Suns team who are too prone to offensive slumps. The line is short for this one, so I will back the more cosistent Trail Blazers to maintain their momentum with another win and cover.
