It may be hard for Portland to snap that streak since they are banged up and will be without leading scorer and rebounder LeMarcus Aldridge.
The Blazers are a very balanced squad that ranks 6th in the league in scoring and 2nd in opponents points per game. Their D will be key tonight facing a Suns’ team that is the 2nd highest scoring team in the league. The Blazers perimeter D will be key tonight, as 3 of the top 4 scorers for the Suns are guards led by Goran Dragic and Eric Bledsoe.
Dragic, Bledsoe, and Isaiah Thomas combined to score 65 points in the win over the Lakers.
The Blazers have a few of their big guys banged up, but they are still a deep team. With Aldridge out Damian Lillard, who struggled in the last match up with Phoenix, and Wesley Mathews will have to take up the scoring slack.
Thomas Robinson, Meyers Leonard Dorell Wright and Will Barton are the frontcourt players for the Blazers that are healthy and their play inside the paint tonight will be important. The Suns do not have a great frontcourt and they only rank 19th in the league in rebounding while the Blazers rank 3rd.
The Suns will have to light up the scoreboard tonight, as they cannot count on their 28th ranked defense.
