Portland Trail Blazers
Health is going to play a big role in this one. The Blazers came up with a big win straight up against Phoenix in this same building on Friday, but if they’re without both Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons again on Saturday, it will be tough to trust these road warriors in two straight.
On the year, the Trail Blazers are scoring 114 points points per game. That 114 PPG team average puts the Trail Blazers in the exact middle of the pack so far this season—the 15th spot across all 30 teams.
Looking at the advanced stats, the Trail Blazers are scoring 111.8 points per 100 possessions. That number puts them in the No. 9 spot as of this writing on Friday.
Defensively, the Trail Blazers are giving up 110.6 points per contest. That number is 10th at this point in the season.
Looking at Defensive Efficiency, Portland gives up 107.3 points per 100 possessions—a number good enough for the No. 10 ranking.
It’s been a long time since the Blazers have been considered a good defensive team, but top 10 in these categories early in a new-look campaign is promising.
Phoenix Suns
Phoenix comes into this one scoring 118.3 points per night on average. That number is good enough for third across the Association behind only the No. 2 New Orleans Pelicans and the No. 1 Golden State Warriors.
Looking at the advanced stats, Phoenix is scoring 115.7 points per 100 possessions. That number drops is good enough for the top spot across the league in terms of Offensive Efficiency.
Defensively, this group is holding opponents to just 106.4 points per contest. That number puts the Suns in fourth place just about 10 percent of the way through the NBA’s regular-season schedule.
In terms of Defensive Efficiency, Phoenix gives up 105.4 points per 100 possessions. That number puts the squad in the sixth ranking so far this year.

Free Portland Trail Blazers vs. Phoenix Suns NBA Prediction:
Please, please pay attention to the injury report on this one. If Lillard and Simons are out, the calculus here changes drastically. Obviously this team is different—especially on the second of a back-to-back—without its two best players.
But I think you’re going to see the Blazers get their guards back into the rotation for this one—at least Anfernee Simons, maybe even Lillard. And if that’s the case, the Blazers have a great shot to push the Suns to the bring once again.
Portland should keep this one competitive from start to (almost) finish.
