Portland Trail Blazers vs Phoenix Suns Prediction

The Suns remain the cover kings this season with a 34-20-3 ATS record, but they’re on the end of a back-to-back, which includes overtime. The Suns are also banged up with many rotation players out. Tough schedule spot for the Suns. The Trail Blazers are as healthy as they’ve been all year, and they should be up for this one after giving up a billion points to the Nuggets. It was embarrassing. If these baby Trail Blazers have any pride, they’ll look to get the nasty taste out of their mouth. I’ll lay the points with the Trail Blazers.
