Prediction published on 01/02/2025, 02:43  by Kennedy Kechula | Modified on 01/02/2025 at 02:59 in NBA Predictions

In-form Portland Trail Blazers will welcome the Phoenix Suns next for a back-to-back series between the two in the NBA. The Blazers enter this match in 12th place in the Western Conference, six games behind their ninth-placed visitors. Below is our prediction for this match.

The Blazers are in terrific form, winning six times in their last seven games. Chauncey Billups’ men have won against the Bucks, Bulls, Heat, Hornets and Magic.

They have defeated the Magic twice, the more recent success being a 119-90 victory at home. The Blazers have now improved to 19-29 where 11 of their victories were at home.

Jerami Grant missed the win over the Magic due to an ankle issue and is questionable for the Suns. 

The Suns won the first two meetings with the Blazers this season, both at home. The most recent win (116-109) was back in November. That extended their current winning run in this fixture to four games.

Another victory here and they'll have secured the spoils in this four-game regular season series with a game to spare. Mike Budenholzer’s men have turned the corner after an alarming run of fixtures.

They have won 10 times in their last 14 games. This has moved them right back into the playoff picture with a 25-22 record.

The Suns got back to winning ways with a dominant 130-105 victory away to the Warriors.
