Phoenix Suns vs Portland Trail Blazers: prediction for the NBA match
These teams recently had a face-to-face encounter. On November 17, Phoenix players played at home against one of the Western Conference underdogs, and the match ended with a confident victory for the home team, the Suns, with a score of 117:106.
Phoenix Suns
Phoenix managed to overcome their crisis. Under the guidance of Frank Vogel, they won three consecutive matches and slightly improved their positions. Currently, in the Western Conference standings, the “Suns” are in seventh place. It’s worth noting that the last match was not an easy one for “Phoenix.” “Utah” put up a serious resistance, leading to an overtime. In the extra time, the “Suns” had to step up, securing a victory with a score of 140:137.
Portland Trail Blazers
Chasity Billups’ team continues to face setbacks. “Portland” has already lost many matches, and there are no prerequisites for overcoming the crisis. In the last match, for example, the “Trail Blazers” suffered a crushing home defeat against “Oklahoma” (91:134). The situation is further exacerbated by the injury of Anfernee Simons, considered one of the team leaders. Malcolm Brogdon’s participation in the game is also questionable.
Prediction
In the last match, "Portland" scored only 91 points. With such a performance, it is challenging to expect a high-scoring game. Most likely, the "Phoenix" players will halt the visitors' offense, and we will not see more than 226.5 points in this meeting. Our prediction — total under 226.5 points at odds of 1.76. It's unlikely that "Portland" will be able to resist "Phoenix." Most probably, the guests will face defeat, so we suggest giving preference to Vogel's team. Prediction — "Phoenix" with a handicap (-11.5) points. This bet can be placed at odds of 1.77. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.76. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
