Suns vs Blazers prediction
Phoenix will look to get back into the win column after having their five-game winning streak snapped on Sunday night.
It’ll be a road game for the Suns, who’ve been less than stellar (2-4) away from Mortgage Matchup Center this season.
The Suns’ offense will look to take advantage of a Blazers defense that ranks within the bottom 10 in the NBA by defensive rating at the time of writing.
Portland has a good amount of offense to counter, though, with Deni Avdija (26 points per game), Shaedon Sharpe (22.1 points per game) and Jerami Grant (18.3 points per game) leading the charge.
Look for Allen and Holiday, listed as game-time decisions for each team, to be X-factors whether they log minutes or not.
Prediction: Suns win 128-124
