Why Are Sharps Turning Away from the Suns? The Unexpected Rise of the Trail Blazers to Watch This Tuesday

Phoenix won and covered two of the three regular-season meetings with Portland. Post-All-Star break, the Suns were 13-14 with a -0.4 net rating and the Trail Blazers were 15-11 with a +3.4 net rating, per CleaningTheGlass.com. Portland starting forward Jerami Grant and Phoenix backup SG Grayson Allen are questionable to play in this game. 

Now that we’ve gotten all the boring details out of the way, let’s figure out how to make money on the Trail Blazers-Suns Thursday. 

The bottom line is: I like Portland’s bigs more; the Trail Blazers are 3rd in defensive rating since the NBA All-Star Game, they have a better shot profile, and Phoenix doesn’t have a legit table-setting point guard in its starting 5.
