The Portland Trail Blazers (6-7; 6-6-1 ATS; 10-3 O/U) just finished their five-game road trip with a 1-4 SU and 0-4-1 ATS record. It’s been a rough patch for the interim head coach Tiago Splitter and his boys, who were yielding 129.2 points a night.

Suns vs. Trail Blazers Pick
Spread Pick for Suns vs. Trail Blazers
- Phoenix Suns -1 (4 units)
The Trail Blazers are the only team that managed to beat the reigning NBA champs, the Oklahoma City Thunder, in 2025-26. However, since their 121-119 victory over the Thunder on November 5, the Trail Blazers have struggled to defend.
Portland started its road trip with a 136-131 loss at Miami, and just four days ago, the Blazers suffered a heavy 140-116 defeat at Houston. Meanwhile, the Suns have been improving on both sides of the ball, so I like them in this spot.
The Blazers will be in trouble if Jrue Holiday remains on the sidelines. Without Holiday, Portland will struggle to contain Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks. The Blazers miss Scoot Henderson (hamstring), which is another blow for their backcourt. The Suns hit the fourth-most 3-pointers per 100 possessions and rank eighth in the league in assists per 100 possessions (27.2).
Over/Under Pick for Suns vs. Trail Blazers
- Over 237 (4 units)
The Trail Blazers play at the second-fastest pace in the NBA (102.7 possessions per 48 minutes). That’s pretty much Tiago Splitter’s influence on this Portland team. On the other side, the Suns register 99.0 possessions per 48 minutes (tied for 24th).
Both teams love to crush the offensive board. Portland is tied for the second-best offensive rebound percentage in the league (31.2%), while Phoenix ranks seventh in this category (29.7%). I already noted that both clubs love to shoot from deep, so give me the over.
