NBA pick of the day · Tue, Feb 3 · 11:00 PM ET
Phoenix Suns at Portland Trail Blazers
Suns' defensive depth and size advantage will overwhelm shorthanded Blazers at home
The pick: Phoenix Suns -4.5 at −106 (FanDuel)
Won. Final: Phoenix Suns 130, Portland Trail Blazers 125.
The Phoenix Suns hold significant advantages in roster availability, defensive personnel, and interior size against a Portland team missing its entire starting backcourt. With Damian Lillard, Scoot Henderson, and potentially Jrue Holiday all unavailable, Portland lacks reliable shot creation against Phoenix's versatile defenders. The Suns' frontcourt depth and defensive versatility should control this game from start to finish.
