PREDICTION SCREEN

RAW likes Portland Trail Blazers to win.

WHY RAW LIKES IT

• Portland's elite offensive rebounding and second-chance scoring, led by Clingan, targeted Phoenix's depleted center situation.
• Avdija was cleared to play, preserving Portland's top returning creator.
• Portland's defensive core had posted the NBA's third-best post-All-Star defensive rating the prior season.

BIGGEST CONCERN

Phoenix's forcing turnovers directly matched Portland's league-worst turnover rate.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG

• Phoenix's three-point defense directly opposed Portland's below-average three-point efficiency.
• Phoenix retained Booker, Green, Bridges, and Brooks, providing a perimeter-creation path against Portland's new guard hierarchy.

BOTTOM LINE

Portland's elite offensive rebounding and second-chance scoring, led by Clingan, targeted Phoenix's depleted center situation. The concern: Phoenix's forcing turnovers directly matched Portland's league-worst turnover rate.
