Portland Trail Blazers at Phoenix Suns 10/13/21 - NBA Picks & Predictions

Hoops fans everywhere are full of excitement as the NBA preseason keeps rolling along! This Wednesday, October 13th at 5pm eastern the Portland Trailblazers will be in Arizona to take on their division rival the Phoenix Suns in the  Footprint Center. This one should be a blazing  battle hot enough to melt the sun. We've got you covered on all the best betting angles here at Picks and Parlays, your leader in free sports betting picks.

The Portland Trailblazers are 0-2 so far in preseason play falling to both the Golden State Warriors 121-107 and the Sacramento Kings 107-98. The Portland Trailblazers are shooting 45.3 percent from the field, 38.5 percent from behind the 3 point line, and 82.3 percent from the free throw line. The Trailblazers are lead by Damion Lillard with 34.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 10.2 assists.

The Phoenix Suns fell just short of the NBA championship last year. But that won't stop them from making another run at it. The Suns are off to a good start with a 2-1 record thru the preseason so far. As a team the Suns are shooting 49 percent from the field, 37.8 from 3 point range and 83.4 percent form the free throw line. The Suns are lead by veteran Chris Paul with 16.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 8.7 assists.

I think the Phoenix Suns, even without Devin Booker, is the stronger team. Both teams can score the ball pretty well but the Suns are holding teams to an average of 105.3 points per game while scoring an average of 115.3. I feel like it will be interesting for the first half but the Suns will dominate the second half. Final Score Prediction, Phoenix Suns win and cover 117-106.
