Portland at Phoenix

Portland has a lot of young talent and seemed to be a year away last season, but has kicked it up a notch this season at 31-11. Young teams on the rise often take some time to get things figured out on the road, and that is the biggest difference with this team year over year. Portland finished a respectable five games over .500 on the road a year ago, but are already five games over this year at 12-7. Phoenix was a borderline playoff team last season, and finds themselves in the same spot so far this season. The Blazers have done a very good job shutting down a team off a good offensive performance as they are 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 against a team that topped the 100-point mark in their previous game.
