Suns vs. Trail Blazers Predictions for NBA on NBC, 11/18

If you’re looking for fireworks tonight, look no further than this matchup, and no, not just because this is a late-night game. Despite no longer having Kevin Durant, the Suns have had no issues finding the bottom of the net as of late. Similarly, the Trail Blazers have been doing so consistently throughout this first month of the year.

Of course, that has to be kept in mind for Suns vs. Trail Blazers predictions tonight. Phoenix has also been doing so after learning that newcomer Jalen Green will be out for several weeks, who had been impressing his new team. Of course, Portland has had their fair share of drama this year, but on the court, they’ve remained focused.

Although these are different rosters, these teams split last season’s series, with Portland winning the more recent two games. We’ve also unfortunately got injury updates to take into account for our Suns vs. Trail Blazers predictions, so let’s get into it.
 

 

 

Suns vs. Trail Blazers Best Bet: Phoenix +3 Points (-119 at Novig)

Phoenix has known that they were going to be without Jalen Green for weeks, but much more recently, they ruled out Grayson Allen for tonight. Portland has also known that they will be missing some guys like Scoot Henderson, but the most recent update on their end is that Jrue Holiday is DOUBTFUL for tonight.

We emphasize that since you may also see just a mere “day-to-day” tag, he is not expected to be a part of any Suns vs. Trail Blazers predictions. While less star power on the court may not have you thinking about a high-scoring game, we still see value in what we view as a lower total than we would have otherwise gotten.

Sure, these teams split last season’s matchups, but what about this year? The most glaring trend that we’ve seen is the Trail Blazers being involved in high-scoring games. They are currently 10-3 for the over this season - only the Houston Rockets are slightly better with a 10-2 over record.

That was our preferred approach until the Jrue Holiday update. With both he and Henderson out means that we don’t trust them to run things as smoothly on offense. Conversely, even with Grayson Allen out, the Suns still have a superstar in Devin Booker to lead the charge, and Dillon Brooks can certainly contribute as well.

Therefore, this is a spot to back a road underdog, making the best bet from our Suns vs. Trail Blazers predictions on Phoenix +3 points (-119 at Novig).
