The Phoenix Suns will play the Portland Trail Blazers, who have won six of their past seven games, at 7 p.m. on Saturday and Monday.
With 34 games left on their schedule, the Blazers, who are now ranked 13th in the Western Conference, are only 5 1/2 games behind Sacramento, who are in 10th place (24–23).
Considering that the Blazers were 13-28 on January 18 after losing eight of ten games, the mere thought of such things may seem absurd. However, the Blazers are at least dangerously close to adding some intrigue.
Additionally, the Suns might sweep the Blazers over the course of the next few days, which would bring them back to earth.
The Kings, who have dropped three of their previous four games, are reportedly searching for guard De Aaron Fox. They will play Minnesota (27–21) on Monday and Oklahoma City (37-9) on Saturday.
After defeating 11th-place Golden State (24-24) 130-105 on Friday night, the eighth-place Suns (25-22) might be a little worn out from playing the second game of a back-to-back on the road.
However, the Suns have won nine of their last twelve games, indicating that they are performing well right now.
Prediction: After two weeks of being burnt by inflated lines, the Suns are only three points ahead, which indicates that the betting public is on the Blazers.
At least one of the two games, if not both, will go to the Suns. Devin Booker and Kevin Durant, the two finest players on the court, will be with them.
