Why bet on the Phoenix Suns?
With a record of 4-20, the Phoenix Suns are officially the worst team in the NBA, so it’s going to be tough to find a reason why they might be a good bet here. You could point to the fact that the Trail Blazers are on a poor run of form at the moment, but you also need to consider that Phoenix is currently on a 7-game losing streak versus Portland and that they have just 1 win on the road in 12 attempts this season. Looking for the Suns to cover the spread here also looks like a losing bet, as they have covered just twice in their last 10 games and are currently on a 0-6 ATS run. If you want to look for positives, their last 3 meetings with Portland, all of which were last season, ended with them losing by an average of just over 5 PPG.Team Stats

Why bet on the Portland Trail Blazers?
The Trail Blazers have slipped all the way down to the #7 spot in the West after losing 3 in a row and 7 of their last 10 games. The good news, though, is that they still have a decent record in their own building, where they are 8-4 to start the season.
Of greater concern, at least from a betting standpoint, is that they have covered the spread just once in their last 10 games and have failed to cover in each of their last 8. They are, though, 6-5 ATS as a home favorite, and while that is not a stat that would convince you to jump on their wagon here, it is something positive to look at. The other positive note is that they are 6-3 SU versus teams at or below .500 this season.
