This is a 10* on OVER

Portland’s loss to Washington Saturday night aside, these are two hot teams in the Western Conference. Before that loss, the Blazers hadn’t just won six straight games, they’d also covered six straight games. The Suns are even hotter with an 8-1 straight up and against the spread run in their last nine games. The only loss came by four points to Brooklyn and that’s a game where they had a 24-point lead at one juncture. Five of the last six games have seen Phoenix score at least 120 points. They should score at least that many tonight. Portland is a bad team defensively. They allow the third most points per possession in the league. Three of the Blazers last four opponents have gone for at least 118, the exception being OKC, who isn’t a high-scoring team. The good news for Portland is that they average 117.7 points/game on the road. They had a 43-point quarter against the Wizards Sunday. Phoenix hit 24 three pointers in its last game. The Over is 7-0 the last seven times Portland has been an underdog. Play on OVER
