The red-hot Phoenix Suns will head to Portland to take on the Trail Blazers at 11 p.m. ET in the nightcap of NBA Coast 2 Coast Tuesday.
This is the second of three meetings between the teams this year, and Phoenix has won six of the past nine games against Portland. These teams were longtime playoff rivals in the 1990s, playing four postseason series in that decade (Portland went 3-1) when the Blazers made the Finals in ’90 and ’92 and the Suns were in the ’93 Finals.
In the 8 p.m. ET tipoff Tuesday, the Dallas Mavericks will play host to the Boston Celtics.

Phoenix Suns vs Portland Trail Blazers preview:
The Suns have been among the surprise stories of the Western Conference, overcoming low expectations and a 1-4 start to become a playoff contender under first-year head coach Jordan Ott. Led by tough-nosed forward Dillon Brooks, Phoenix has relied heavily on defense and ranks highly in opponents’ points per game (fifth), defensive rating (fifth), opponents’ turnovers per game (third), steals per game (second) and points off turnovers per game (third).
Brooks, who was acquired from Houston in the trade for Kevin Durant, also is on pace for career bests in scoring (21.0 points per game) and field goal percentage (44.5%), scoring a career-high 40 in a home win over Detroit last week. Devin Booker leads Phoenix with 25.4 points and 6.2 assists per game but has missed the past five games with a right ankle injury.
After a strong 9-2 start to January, the Trail Blazers have struggled lately with a sputtering offense. Forward Deni Avdija has battled a recent back injury but still is enjoying a breakout season at 25.8 points and 6.8 assists per game, making him an odds-on favorite for Most Improved Player.
Portland also has benefited recently from the return from injuries of Jrue Holiday (who missed 28 games with a right calf strain) and Jerami Grant (out 16 games with a left Achilles tendinitis).
