Portland Trail Blazers VS Phoenix Suns Prediction
Phoenix Suns are favored at home with superior defensive efficiency (116.4) and recent momentum, having just defeated Orlando in double overtime on February 21. Portland's offensive efficiency ranks 29th league-wide at 109.2, creating a significant matchup disadvantage. The Suns' strong perimeter defense (34.3% 3P allowed, 2nd best) will challenge Portland's outside shooting, while Jerami Grant's inconsistent scoring (16.0 PPG last 10 games with high variance) suggests limited offensive firepower. At 2.42 odds implying 41.3% probability, the Suns' home court advantage and defensive metrics suggest true winning probability exceeds market implications.
