The current betting odds have the Suns listed as a 4.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Suns have looked good in their games this season with their 45-37 record overall which had them finish the regular season in 7th place in the West. They have looked a lot better on their home court this season too with their 25-16 home record. Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers have looked good in their games this season with their 42-40 record overall which had them finish the regular season in 8th place in the West. They haven't been a good road team though with their 18-23 road record this year. The Trail Blazers fought hard to earn this spot where they could potentially play just 1 game to get into the playoffs. They have been rolling in their games lately as they are 7-3 in their last 10 games and have won 2 games in a row now too, but they have also been beating up on a lot of bad teams lately and teams who have had nothing to play for. The Trail Blazers were really up and down all season though and they had a lot of trouble with better opponents throughout the year. The Suns haven't looked that good lately themselves, going 5-5 in their last 10 games, but they are off a win over the Thunder in their last one and they haven't really had to play at their best lately since they were locked into that 7th spot in the West. They have been resting players getting ready for this game that they knew they had to play, so they are going to have the advantage here. The Suns have also looked like a completely different team on their home court this year, so with the team pretty much healthy now and finally playing a meaningful game, they are going to show up at home to make sure they book their ticket to the playoffs. The best way to place a bet here is on the Suns to cover the spread in this game.

"I think Phoenix is playing great basketball, I think Jordan Ott is a great coach, got that group going. Little bit up and down with the injuries like everybody else but they have a lot of talent. Can shoot the three, good defenders, three-and-D guys. And of course we're playing (in Phoenix) so it's going to be a tough game, tough environment. But it's going to be awesome to our guys to experience that and go through that type of match. A lot of guys are craving to be in that situation, especially the young guys." - Tiago Splitter on his team playing the Suns in the play-in tournament. 

“We're locked in. We've talked about after the All-Star break playing meaningful games. Now that's transitioned to a big game Tuesday night (April 14). That's exciting. To play 82 games and then have another chance to play a game. That part is exciting. To do it with this group will be special.” - Jordan Ott on the play-in tournament.
