The Trail Blazers arrive unbeaten on the road, while Phoenix needs its defense to slow a high-scoring Portland attack.
Portland visits Phoenix on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 9 p.m. ET, with a 5-1 record and a No. 6 power-index ranking against the Suns’ 1-4 mark and No. 22 rank. The Trail Blazers are 4-0 on the road, averaging 120.2 points per game; Phoenix has allowed 122.8 per game, a gap that puts its defense under immediate pressure. Deni Avdija leads Portland with 143 points and 33 assists in six games, while Devin Booker has 115 points in five for the Suns, making his scoring and playmaking central to Phoenix’s response. Portland’s Donovan Clingan adds 62 rebounds and 13 blocks, and with Ja Morant out, the visitors will need their frontcourt and remaining guards to keep the offense humming against Booker and company.
