Portland vs Phoenix Bets continue onward as the 2023-24 NBA season rolls on. Currently, we enjoyed a few of our college and pro basketball has been pretty good to us. Again, BetOnline Vegas online sportsbook and a few others brought the early Tuesday night numbers. Fans get more and more ready for the holiday season and the increase in games. Now, can Phoenix get their eight win and blow out Portland this Tuesday?
Portland vs Phoenix Bets leaning heavy on Phoenix. Now, the problems here are considerable with Portland. For one, this Trail Blazers team has lost ten of their first 13 contests. If that was not bad enough, Phoenix knows that they are facing a prideful Portland squad which has lost seven straight games. Phoenix is starting to trend in the right direction as they have won three consecutive games.
Also, while Phoenix averages more than 117 points a game, Portland cannot even muster 103. The Trail Blazers’ point differential per contests is a staggering 10.2 in the negative direction. Now, that is a walking disaster which has only progressively become worse. Only San Antonio ranks worse in terms of offensive rating. That is pretty sobering. Check out the scores from the seven-game losing streak.
Last Four Portland Games
Alright, the first few games of the losing streak for Portland were at least closer. The past four have been blowouts including that 43-point shellacking at the hands of the Oklahoma City. The Thunder dropped the hammer and whatever else they could get their hands on. Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers need a win in the worst way. It seems the harder they try, the further away they get.
Bettors expect a game full of intrigue. Scoring might be a little lower than some are accustomed to. Can the Suns overcome a woeful Portland offense who is struggling to even get to 100 points on a nightly basis. The growing worries about the Trail Blazers are very much valid. Who will score consistently for them? Can they mount a few wins eventually. Are they tanking? All are valid and this Moneyline is not a misprint.
Why not ask can the Suns Pull off this cover on Tuesday night? Portland vs Phoenix bets look forward to see how many points the Suns can win by. Now, remember Phoenix has been in positions like this before. What is their record ATS? After a slow start. Phoenix is now 5-2 in their last seven against the spread. Even at 12.5 to 13.5 points, most pundits think Phoenix can make that number six out of eight.
So, Portland is staring at seven of their next eight games on the road. For a team who is 3-10, that cannot be a good sign. Phoenix has scored over 130 points in three straight contests. Though that third one required two overtimes to get there. Either way, the Suns can get to 120 points. However, can they slow down Portland offensively enough on Tuesday night?
Granted, this is why Kevin Durant and company need to rack up as many points on Tuesday night as possible. Then again, do the same on Friday. Taking advantage of two teams that are not playing so well right now is essential. If Phoenix wants to claim that lone wildcard spot, they need to likely go 3-1 to do it.
So, that -110 number on the 12.5-point spread comes back to EVEN at 13.5. Okay, do we go with the alternative to get ten more cents per dollar basically? That answer is yes in the Portland vs Phoenix Bets. Fortunately, Portland has shown an ability to keep losing while giving up tons of points. Even the Team Over for Phoenix could be in play here.
Portland vs Phoenix bets consider the idea of going over on us alternate style. Naturally, the numbers pull us to the Over again. However, we focus on the Team Over of Phoenix. This is much more appetizing and we can go up to 120.5 where the Suns are in plus territory at +110 on BetOnline and Bovada.
Books keep trying to get us to try the Portland over as well here. Please understand that Portland is averaging a league-worst 102.9 points per game. Some believe they have to score sometime. With Phoenix allowing 137 points even against Utah (in 58 minutes), anything is possible. Consider the alternative of betting them to score under 100 points. However, what fun is that?
Yes, the numbers between two of the worst teams in the league are eerily similar. The only difference is the rookie is leading San Antonio while Portland’s team has been mostly underwhelming honestly. When is the last time Portland shot 50% from the field, etc? Exactly! Now, there lies little belief that the situation will get any better in Portland. As a matter of fact, the chances of them winning even 25 games is dwindling by the day.
Numbers slide more into the favor of Phoenix. Laying points is easy but how high is too far for their over on Tuesday. For now, stick with the 120.5 until the afternoon. If that number goes further into plus territory, take another chance going upward to even 121.5.
NBA online prime betting odds are here and those NBA prop bets are too.
