Trail Blazers at Suns preview: what our research says
Phoenix is 1-4, with a 1-1 home record and a 0-3 road record. The Suns return after a 113-116 loss at Golden State. They begin a seven-game homestand tonight against Portland. Their home win came against Golden State, while their season opener in Portland ended 83-124.
The latest loss included 26 points from Devin Booker and 21 from Miles Bridges. Phoenix led early but committed seven turnovers in the fourth quarter and went 1-for-7 on threes in that period. Against Denver, Bridges scored 24, while Collin Gillespie added 16 points and 10 assists off the bench.
Jordan Ott's projected starters remain Booker, Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, Bridges and Khaman Maluach. The bench mix includes Gillespie, Luke Kennard, Jordan Goodwin and Ryan Dunn. Oso Ighodaro returned against Denver after a right oblique strain. Phoenix also agreed to a three-year, $29 million extension with him, while Mark Williams remains out following left shoulder surgery.
Goodwin's right calf soreness and Rasheer Fleming's left ankle sprain leave both questionable. Portland is 5-1 and arrives without Ja Morant and Shaedon Sharpe. Scoot Henderson is available, and Robert Williams III is expected to be available again. Phoenix hosts the rematch at 8:00 PM CT, with its reserve availability still unresolved.
