Game Preview
The Phoenix Suns versus Portland Trail Blazers are one of just four NBA matches scheduled for Tuesday evening. This is the second meeting between the two organizations this season, with the Suns emerging victorious on November 21st. In their first meeting of the period, the Suns easily defeated the Lakers 120-107 a month ago, with Kevin Durant guiding the charge. Devin Booker ended with 28 points and 6 assists, while Durant concluded with 31 points, 4 boards, and 9 assists.
With a record of 6-19, the Trail Blazers have dropped their last 7 matches. The Trail Blazers only managed 107 points in their last meeting with the Suns. Malcolm Brogdon scored 19 points, while Jerami Grant scored 26. In the defeat, the Trail Blazers were only able to shoot 43.7% as a collective unit. Shaedon Sharpe is the only player injured for Portland going into Tuesday; his availability is doubtful. Portland makes a great deal of shots, especially considering that they are a club without many talented shooters. In terms of field goal attempts per match, the Blazers are ranked 9th in the NBA, but when considering efficient field goal percentage, they are at the very bottom.
The Suns are just a pair of games over .500 and sit in the 10th spot within the Western Conference going into their match tonight versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Given that Christmas is just less than one week away, it’s probably not a place they anticipated to be. The Suns, who now have a record of 14-12, just defeated the Washington Wizards. This season, Phoenix has already faced Portland, and they prevailed at home. The Suns scored 120 points in that contest. Devin Booker and Kevin Durant teamed for 7 rebounds, 15 assists, along with 59 points. The Suns’ team shooting percentage was 56.6%. Bradley Beal will not play for the Suns in this game, but Grayson Allen is expected to.
