Phoenix Suns vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/03/26

The injury to Devin Booker finally caught up to the Phoenix Suns who got blown out in their last game by the Clippers, scoring just 93 points in a 24 point loss. The Suns were able to survive for the most part without their superstar, beating some formidable teams over the past couple of weeks. Tuesday is a bounce back opportunity as they take on another team that’s been hit by the injury bug the Portland Trail Blazers. These two teams met in mid-November with the Suns coming out on top 127-110, it was their 5th win in 7 meetings against this team.

Deni Avdija just got name to the All-Star team as a reserve in the Western Conference, that’s a solid reward for all the good things he’s done for his team this year. However, it’s been almost 2 weeks since we’ve seen a signature game from him, mainly due to the back issues which have caused him to play only 3 games since January 18th. He’s slowly easing into things, the fact that he scored only 11 points at MSG the other day tells us that he is still far from being fully healthy. On top of this issue, the Blazers could also be without Jrue Holiday who is out due to personal reasons, plus Scoot Henderson and Matisse Thybulle who are out injured.

Both teams are missing their best player at the moment, but I’m of the opinion that the Suns are way more comfortable playing without Booker. Before the loss to the Clippers they were able to beat the Pistons and Cavaliers pretty convincingly, with 6 wins in 9 games they should be the ones taking care of business here. I’ll back Dillon Brooks and co. to cover.
