Preview

The Phoenix Suns and the Portland Trail Blazers will face off for the second time this season tonite. Portland picked up a big win at home in the first meeting 134-105.

Portland Trail Blazers

It's been rough start for All-Star point guard Damian Lillard. The former Weber State guard is averaging 19.3 ppg, which is his lowest since his rookie season. The talented three point sniper is bound to get things going soon, and his last two outings are signs of it.

C.J. McCollum looks like hes on his way to averaging 20+ ppg for the seventh season in a row. McCollum, one of the league's most crafty scorers, poured in 28 points against Phoenix in the first matchup.

The supporting cast in the Northwest is really thin without Melo, but big Jusuf Nurkic gives them a reliable post presence, while Normal Powell and Anfernee Simons are averaging career-highs in points.

Phoenix Suns

The Suns have started the month of November with four straight wins, including a tough road win over a thriving Kings team.

Devin Booker looks to lead the Suns in scoring for a fifth straight season. He paces Phoenix with 23.8 ppg, while adding 5.2 apg, and a career-best 6.1 rpg.

Veteran point guard Chris Paul continues to be a steady presence in his 17th season. CP3 put together a monster line of 14/18/7 against the Pelicans, and he'll look to avenge a four-point outing against Portland earlier this season. l

Mikal Bridges is averaging a career high 15.3 ppg on 40% shooting from deep.

Prediction

Phoenix is riding a four-game win streak, while Portland enters on a back-to-back, which also happened to be their third grueling contest versus the Clippers already. All signs point to the Suns taking this one here, and that's how we'll sway tonite. Take Phoenix' spread at home.

PICK: Phoenix Suns -5.5
