Unexpected Shift: Why the Smart Money Is Turning Away from Phoenix Suns and Eyeing the Portland Trail Blazers Tuesday

The real NBA season begins Tuesday (the playoffs, when guys allegedly care) with a 2026 Play-In Tournament doubleheader. Out West, the #7 Phoenix Suns host the #8 Portland Trail Blazers for a 10 p.m. ET tip-off at the Mortgage Matchup Center. Phoenix is a -2.5 to -3.5 favorite, depending on where you look. 

I know casual-to-non-NBA fans are confused about the play-in tourney. But, to simplify it here, whoever wins clinches the 7-seed and faces the #2 San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the 2026 Western Conference Playoffs. The loser plays the winner of the #9 Los Angeles Clippers and #10 Golden State Warriors in a do-or-die game for the final playoff spot.
