This is a 10* TOTAL BK on the OVER Suns/Blazers.

These teams have been involved in several lower-scoring defensive battles this season, but all signs finally point to much more of a higher-scoring battle this time around.

The Suns are 19-18 now, and 9-7 on the road, while the Blazers are 10-28, including 5-11 at home.

Phoenix broke a two-game slide with a 127-109 victory at the Lakers last time out.

The Blazers have now lost three straight SU/ATS after their most recent 116-93 loss at Minnesota (third straight game failed to reach the century mark in scoring.) Note though that Portland has seen the total go OVER the number in eight of its last 11 after playing to three or more straight SU/ATS losses in a row.

Portland plays with revenge after a 109-88 loss at Phoenix earlier in the season, and note as well that the Blazers have seen the total eclipse the posted number in seven of their last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS road loss vs. an opponent.

When you add all of the above factors together, everything point to this contest flying OVER the posted number sooner, rather than later.

Good luck, NP
