Friday NBA Betting – Portland at Phoenix on ESPN. The Portland Trail Blazers will look for another NBA betting win against Phoenix as the two teams meet in Friday night.The Suns are at home but it is hard to have any confidence making an NBA bet on Phoenix this season.
Blazers Look for Season Sweep
Portland has already beaten Phoenix three times this season and with a win on Friday night they will complete the sweep in the season series. The three meetings this series have been almost identical. The Blazers won 101-94 at Phoenix and 106-99 and 106-92 in Portland. The Suns did finally get a home win on Wednesday night as they beat New Jersey but it took overtime to do it. The Suns are still 6-12-1 ATS at home.
No Defense from Phoenix
The Suns are giving up a ton of points on a nightly basis. In the last week they held just one team under 100 points and that was the game against the Lakers in which they allowed 99. They gave up 121 points to the Knicks, 132 to the Nuggets and 109 to the rotten Nets. Phoenix still has Steve Nash but there is not much else to like about the Suns. Vince Carter and Grant Hill have seen their best days. There is simply not much to like about Phoenix right now and they are a tough team to make a case for when making an NBA bet at the Sbg global sportsbook.
Up and Down Blazers
Portland is not a great team either as they are up and down. The Blazers are just a game above .500. Portland is 9-11-2 ATS on the road. The Blazers don’t have Brandon Roy who is injured but at least they do have LaMarcus Aldridge who is playing at an All-Star level. He should have a big night against the rotten Phoenix defense.
