The Phoenix Suns and the Portland Trail Blazers duke it out at the Moda Center once again on Monday night. Here’s a Trail Blazers vs Suns Prediction. This article will include a Trail Blazers vs Suns Pick.

Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns have been in great form as they’ve won nine of their last 13 games overall, but they will be hoping for a better effort in this one after getting routed by the Trail Blazers in a 127-108 road defeat on Saturday. Devin Booker led the team with 37 points and five assists on 11 of 18 shooting, Kevin Durant added 22 points on nine of 18 shooting while Bradley Beal chipped in with 13 points off the bench but no other player finished in double figures in scoring. As a team, the Suns shot 45 percent from the field and 10 of 33 from the 3-point line as they came out flat and were always fighting an uphill battle after scoring just 19 points in the second quarter. The Suns did show some fight in the second half, but they just didn’t get enough support from their role players like Nick Richards who scored just one point, and Grayson Allen who scored just three points off the bench. The Suns will face the Thunder following this one.

Portland Trail Blazers

Meanwhile, the Portland Trail Blazers have been in season-best form as they’ve won seven of their last eight games overall and they will be gunning for a fourth straight victory after blowing past the Suns on Saturday. DeAndre Ayton led the team with 24 points on 11 of 12 shooting, Jerami Grant added 20 points, Tounami Camara scored 18 points with 10 rebounds and four steals while Shaedon Sharpe and Anfernee Simons scored 16 points each. As a team, the Trail Blazers shot 51 percent from the field and nine of 31 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the Suns from the start and were always in control after dominating the second quarter by 31-19 to take an early double-digit lead. The Trail Blazers will take on the Pacers after this game.

Why the Portland Trail Blazers will win

  • The Trail Blazers have won each of their last seven night games.
  • The Suns have lost three of their last four games as favorites against opponents who are on the first leg of a back-to-back.
  • The Trail Blazers have covered the spread in each of their last eight games.
  • The Suns have failed to cover the spread in eight of their last nine games against opponents who are on the first leg of a back-to-back.

Why the Phoenix Suns will win

  • The Suns have won each of their last 10 games as road favorites following a loss.
  • The Trail Blazers have lost 31 of their last 36 games against Pacific Division opponents.
  • The Trail Blazers have failed to cover the spread in six of their last seven games against Pacific Division opponents following a win.
  • The Suns have covered the spread in six of their last seven games as favorites against the Trail Blazers following a loss.

Total Points Facts

  • Each of the Trail Blazers’ last four home games on the first leg of a back-to-back has gone OVER the total points line.
  • Five of the Suns’ last six games as road favorites have gone OVER the total points line.

Trail Blazers vs Suns Prediction

The Suns are coming into this one with a full squad, while the Trail Blazers are still missing Matisse Thybulle and they have Robert Williams listed as questionable. The Trail Blazers are playing their best basketball of the season and they will be full of confidence following their big win over the Suns on Saturday, but to be fair, the Suns were playing that game on zero days rest, so I am expecting a different contest in this one. It is always tough to beat the same team twice in a row, so I am going with the Suns to come out swinging and come away with the revenge win in this spot.
