Portland Trail Blazers vs Phoenix Suns 11/4/2022 Picks Predictions Previews
The Portland Trail Blazers will go against the Phoenix Suns in NBA action in Footprint Center, AZ, on Friday, November 4, 2022, at 10:00 PM ET.
The Blazers confront a virtually impossible battle against one of the most well-rounded NBA heavyweights without point guard Damian Lillard (calf).
In their most recent matchup on October 21, Lillard’s 41 points were the difference in Portland’s 113-111 overtime triumph.
Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton of Phoenix collaborated for 59 points, and a game-high 12 assists from seasoned player Chris Paul, making it impossible for this superstar to defeat them.
Lillard is expected to make a comeback at some point during this six-game road trip, according to head coach Chauncey Billups, while guard Gary Payton II (abdomen/reconditioning) isn’t expected to play again until at most Nov. 15.
Josh Hart’s status for Friday’s game is labeled as QUESTIONABLE due to a concussion.
- The Portland Trail Blazers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 matches.
- The total went UNDER in 9 of Portland’s last 12 matches.
