The Portland Trailblazers will attempt to continue their hot start in Friday’s 10:30 PM ET game in Phoenix against the Suns (2-4).
The road-team Trailblazers are 2-point favorites and are garnering close to 60% of the action according to NBA bet-tracking websites, while the total of 191.5 has been bet down after opening at 193.5.
Although Portland has been the superior team this season, it is worth pointing out that they are just 1-1 on the road.
Phoenix hasn’t been impressive with a 1-2 home record, but the home team has won 6 of the last 8 head-to-head meetings between these teams.
The Trailblazers have come out on top in 4 of their last 5 meetings with the Suns, and they’ve covered the point spread in 3 of the last 4 games.
The under has been a winner in 6 of the 8 games played between these teams since April 22nd, 2010.

Phoenix has covered the odds in 3 of their last 4 games this season despite winning outright in just 2.
They’ve lost to two strong teams in those recent losses and appear to be getting things together after a rough start to the year.
The Suns haven’t had their offense working at full strength, and they have thus gone under the total in 5 of their 6 games on the season.
Portland has gone under the total in 3 of their last 4 games this season, including going under the total in both of their road clashes.
The Trailblazers have won 4 of 5 heading into Friday’s game, and they’ve only failed to cover the odds one time during that span.
An interesting thing to note is that the only time Portland hasn’t covered the odds this year is when they’ve lost, while every single win has been a wagering victory as well.
