These teams split the first two games of the season. In the Blazers’ home win, it was CJ McCollum who led them to victory with the highest 28 points in the game. However, Portland will be without their shooting guard Tuesday night as he is still sidelined with a collapsed right lung.
THAN: Should the Blazers consider a trade for Ben Simmons?
The Blazers started the season with a blast at Moda Center with a 10-1 record at home, however, they have since beaten the past four in their own building.. Meanwhile, the Suns hold the league best record at 9-1, with their only away loss to the Golden State Warriors.
