PHX Suns vs. POR Trail Blazers Game Day Preview

Coast to Coast Tuesday heads to Portland, where the POR Trail Blazers (6–7) host the PHX Suns (8–6) in a late-night Western Conference showdown. Portland enters as a 3.5-point favorite despite losing four of its last five, while Phoenix continues to search for consistency after blowing a 22-point fourth-quarter lead to Atlanta. Both teams feature high-usage scorers, making this matchup loaded with fantasy intrigue and NBA DFS potential.

The Suns have won seven of their last ten thanks to elite shot-making from Dillon Brooks (34.0 PPG last 10 games) and steady production from Devin Booker (28.4 PPG, 7.0 APG). Portland, meanwhile, leans heavily on Shaedon Sharpe (22.1 PPG) and a young core learning through adversity under interim coach Tiago Splitter, who continues to demand sharper defensive execution. With multiple injuries on both sides — including Scoot Henderson, Damian Lillard, and Jalen Green — expect rotations to tighten and star players to shoulder an even bigger offensive load.

The Phoenix Suns enter Tuesday’s matchup looking to regain momentum after a deflating 124–122 loss to the Hawks in which they surrendered 47 fourth-quarter points. Head coach Jordan Ott was blunt afterward, noting that “it’s probably not a recipe for success any night” and emphasizing the need to “regain your composure” in clutch moments.

Despite the setback, Phoenix has won five of its last six and continues to rely on the hot hand of Dillon Brooks, whose recent scoring tear has elevated the Suns’ offensive ceiling. Devin Booker remains the team’s anchor, averaging 28.4 points and 7.0 assists, while injuries to Jalen Green (hamstring) and Grayson Allen (quad) force Phoenix to adjust on the perimeter. Even with the added strain, Phoenix’s efficient offense (118.8 PPG) puts pressure on a Portland defense still searching for consistency.

WOW. Chuck Taylor x Devin Booker.

Portland Trail Blazers

2025 Record = 6–7 (4th Northwest Division)
2025 Home Record = 3-2
StatementGames NBA Power Ranking = 16

The Portland Trail Blazers return home after a tough 1–4 road trip capped by an overtime loss to Dallas. Interim head coach Tiago Splitter praised his team’s fight — “we never stopped fighting” — but continues to stress sharper defensive discipline and better late-game execution. Portland has hit the OVER in six of its last seven, a reflection of improved scoring and shaky defense.

Shaedon Sharpe has become Portland’s primary offensive engine, averaging 22.1 points per game and topping 30 points in three of his last four. Injuries continue to shape the roster, with Scoot Henderson and Matisse Thybulle out and Jrue Holiday day-to-day. The franchise is also navigating a transitional phase, from Damian Lillard’s season-ending Achilles tear to an ownership change expected to maintain long-term stability. Even amid the rebuild, Portland’s young core is earning a reputation as a “tough out,” especially at home.

INJURY REPORT 11/18 vs. PHX:

OUT:
Scoot Henderson (L Hamstring Tear)
Damian Lillard (L Achilles Tendon)
Matisse Thybulle (L Thumb Ligament Tear)
Blake Wesley (R Foot Fracture)

DOUBTFUL
Jrue Holiday (R Calf Soreness)
