What if?
Advantages Why Trail Blazers can win
- Recent form: average margin over the last five games, Trail Blazers +4.8, Suns -10.6.
- Recent scoring margins: worth about 3.3 points to the Trail Blazers in our ratings.
- Efficiency (points per 100 possessions): worth about 1.9 points to the Trail Blazers in our ratings.
- Getting to the line (free throws per shot): Trail Blazers 14th (0.21), Suns 25th (0.18).
- Team matchup: where the Trail Blazers can take advantage. Their offensive rebounding (5th of 30) meets the Suns defensive rebounding (26th), so look for them to crash the glass for second chances. And their ball pressure (12th of 30) meets the Suns ball security (17th): a chance to turn steals into easy points in transition. Pace clash: the Trail Blazers play fast (10th of 30 in pace), the Suns slow (25th); whoever sets the tempo gets the game they want.
- Star matchup: no key position clearly favors the Trail Blazers. The closest: best player against best player, Deni Avdija (Trail Blazers: 24.3 pts, 6.8 reb, 6.5 ast, Game Score 18.6; filling in for Ja Morant, out, left hamstring strain) is about even with Devin Booker (Suns: 25.5 pts, 3.9 reb, 5.9 ast, Game Score 18.0; filling in for Mark Williams, out, left shoulder surgery).
- Simulation: the Trail Blazers win 5,910 of 10,000 simulated games.
Disadvantages Why Trail Blazers may not
- Home court: the Suns play at home, worth about 2 points in today's NBA.
- Three-point shooting: Suns 12th (36.0%), Trail Blazers 26th (34.2%).
- Ball security (turnovers per 100 possessions): Suns 17th (14.5), Trail Blazers 28th (16.3).
- Range of outcomes: in the worst 10% of simulations the Trail Blazers lose by 14 or more.
- Team matchup: where the Suns can push back. Their ball pressure (8th of 30) meets the Trail Blazers ball security (28th), so look for them to turn steals into easy points in transition. And their offensive rebounding (9th of 30) meets the Trail Blazers defensive rebounding (19th): a chance to crash the glass for second chances.
- Star matchup: the key positions lean the Trail Blazers on paper, but Devin Booker (25.5 pts, 3.9 reb, 5.9 ast, Game Score 18.0; filling in for Mark Williams, out, left shoulder surgery) is the kind of player who can swing one game.
- Upset odds: the Suns win 4,090 of 10,000 simulations (41%). A 59% pick still loses about 4 times in 10.
