Suns at Trail Blazers picks and predictions
Prediction
Trail Blazers 122, Suns 117
TRAIL BLAZERS (-140) is worth a look straight up if you’re not willing to lay the points. Portland won the final 2 games of the season series in 2024-25.
The Suns have been hot lately, winning 5 of their past 6 games and 7 of 9. However, they’ve had a tough time in recent seasons against the Blazers.
If you’re a more traditional bettor, TRAIL BLAZERS -2.5 (-110) is a more sensible play.
Again, the Suns have been hot against the number, cashing at a 5-1 ATS rate and going 8-2 ATS across the past 10. However, Phoenix is 0-5 ATS in the previous 5 meetings.
The OVER 236.5 (-110) is also worth playing lightly, but go with a half-unit play at best.
The Over hit in the final 2 meetings last season, went 2-1 in the past 3 outings for the Suns and has cashed in 3 straight for the Blazers, as well as 6 of their past 7 games.
