Trail Blazers vs Suns Betting Pick
This game will be played at Footprint Center at 10:00 PM ET on Wednesday, March 2, 2022.
Why Bet The Suns:
✅ Both Portland and Phoenix have some serious injury problems ahead of their next clash. The Suns are without Chris Paul and Cameron Payne, so their backcourt is quite thin at the moment. On the other side, the Trail Blazers cannot count on Damian Lillard, Eric Bledsoe, and Jusuf Nurkic, while Justise Winslow is doubtful to play. Hereof, the Suns’ depth should make the difference.
✅ The Trail Blazers’ defense is a big issue, and with Jusuf Nurkic on the shelf, their interior D is completely in shambles. Over their last two outings, the Trail Blazers have suffered a couple of heavy losses, yielding 132 points to Golden State and 124 to Denver. Portland is now allowing 114.5 points per 100 possessions (28th in the NBA) on 47.3% shooting from the field (27th) and 37.1% from beyond the 3-point line (29th).

✅ The Suns have dominated the Trail Blazers over the last few years. Phoenix has won seven of its previous nine encounters with Portland. Also, the Suns are undefeated in four consecutive meetings with Portland at home, going 3-1 ATS in the process. The Suns have gone 8-3 ATS over their previous 11 games against the Trail Blazers.
Portland Trail Blazers
The Trail Blazers have been a complete disaster over their last two showings. After a 132-95 defeat to the Golden State Warriors, Portland suffered a 124-92 loss to the Denver Nuggets last Sunday. The Trail Blazers shot only 39.2% from the field against the Dubs and 37.4% against the Nuggets.
Portland has gone only 4-8 SU and ATS in its previous 12 games overall. The Trail Blazers are tied with New Orleans for the No. 10 seed in the West, but the Spurs are only 1.5 games behind them.
Phoenix Suns
The Suns have lost two straight games for the first time since December. After a heavy 117-102 loss to New Orleans, Phoenix suffered a tough 118-114 defeat to Utah last Sunday. Chris Paul has missed the last three games due to a thumb fracture, and the 12-time All-Star will probably stay on the shelf for the rest of the regular season.
Devin Booker will have to spend a lot of time at point guard in the next few weeks. Over the last three games, Booker has averaged 28.3 points and 8.0 assists a night.
