In the first of a two-game series in Portland, the Suns and Trail Blazers will play in the last game scheduled for NBA action on Saturday.

For the Suns, it was a pretty positive January, which they closed out by beating the Warriors in San Francisco by a final score of 130-105, with Booker scoring 31 points as the top scorer of the night for Phoenix, in addition to assisting 11 times. Despite the fact that they made only 11 of 16 free throws, they did make 19 of the 39 three-point shots they attempted against the Warriors, in addition to not allowing the locals to have too many open 3-point shots and holding them to 36% accuracy from long distance.

They will start in Portland as 4-point favorites, after the Suns had won the Trail Blazers in the last 4 games between them, including 2 this season.

But the Blazers also had a spectacular second half of January, winning 6 of the last 7 games, the last of them by 20 points against the Magic, in a very long home-stand of 7 games where they won 2 and lost the first against Thunder.
