Game Preview
The Phoenix Suns (6-1) will host the Portland Trail Blazers (5-2) on Friday. These same teams will also play in Phoenix again on Saturday. Portland took the first head-to-head meeting at home 113-111 in overtime on October 21.
The Portland Trail Blazers opened the season with four straight wins before losing to Miami 119-98 on October 26 in a game where Damian Lillard had to leave in the third quarter with a right calf strain. Without Lillard, the Blazers beat Houston 125-111 last Friday but lost to Memphis 111-106 on Wednesday.
The Phoenix Suns are on a five-game winning streak and have the best record in the Western Conference. Each of the Suns’ wins during the current streak has come by at least nine points. Devin Booker is averaging 27.7 ppg and has led the Suns in scoring in six out of seven games this season. In the most recent win over Minnesota 116-107 on Tuesday, Booker finished with 18 points, but Mikal Bridges finished with 19 points and Cam Johnson had a team-high 29 points.
Phoenix ranks first in the NBA shooting 48.8% from the floor and third scoring 118.3 ppg. On defense, they are fourth allowing 106.4 ppg, and fifth allowing opponents to shoot 106.4 ppg. They are also first with a +11.9-scoring margin this season, with their lone loss coming against Portland.
The Blazers have been playing hard this season and knowing that they have to play Phoenix on consecutive days, it’s expected for the supporting cast to step up and give their best shot Friday night. Without Lilliard and, most likely, no Simons, it’s hard to have even a little bit of faith in Portland, but the squad has to take this as an incentive to give it their all and get the upset win this evening on the road.
